jsc2022e072969 (8/12/2022) --- The BioFabrication Facility (BFF) and the ADvanced Space Experiment Processor (ADSEP) together comprise a system capable of manufacturing human tissue in the microgravity environment of space. BFF is returning to the International Space Station after coming back to Earth for upgrades in 2020. The first investigation to be conducted in the upgraded facility is BioFabrication Facility Assembled Next-gen Development of Collagenous Allograft Meniscal Prosthetics aboard the International Space Station (BFF-Meniscus-2). The study attempts to 3D print a meniscus, also known as knee cartilage tissue, using only bioinks and cells. Image courtesy of Redwire.

jsc2025e036383 (4/4/2025) --- The blue box is The Redwire Industrial Crystallization Cassette (ICC), a facility capable of large quantities of crystal growth. The white cylindrical growth chamber below the ICC is capable of holding 200mL in volume, compared to <1mL held by the PIL-BOX cassettes. The ADSEP Industrial Crystallization Cassette Technology Demonstration (ADSEP-ICC) investigation validates the ICC’s capability to grow large quantities of crystals in its high-volume crystal growth chambers aboard the International Space Station.
