iss068e020703 (Nov. 7, 2022) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 68 Flight Engineer Nicole Mann works with a pair of free-flying, cube-shaped Astrobee robotic helpers inside the Kibo laboratory module. The toaster-sized, autonomous robots were demonstrating the use of a photogrammetric vision-based technology for guidance, navigation, and control as part of the Smartphone Vision Guidance Sensor experiment.

iss068e02492 (Nov. 21, 2022) --- The International Space Station's fine-tuned robotic hand, the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM), also known as Dextre, is pictured attached to the U.S. Destiny laboratory module as the orbiting lab flew 270 miles above the southern Pacific Ocean. Dextre is part of the station's Mobile Servicing System, also comprised of the Canadarm2 robotic arm and the Mobile Base System, provided by the Canadian Space Agency.

iss068e024952 (Nov. 25, 2022) --- Cabo San Lucas, on the Pacific coast of the southern tip of Baja California, is pictured from the International Space Station as it orbited 259 miles above.

iss068e022275 (11/14/2022) --- A view of the OVOSPACE payload in the cupola module aboard the international Space Station (ISS). The Modulation of Granulosa and Theca Cells Activity in Microgravity: Consequences for Human Health and Reproduction (OVOSPACE) investigation studies how the microgravity environment can impair ovary function and the physiological development of living beings.
