iss060e019706 (7/30/2019) --- European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Luca Parmitano during Biorock Experiment Containers installation in KUBIK in the Columbus Module. The Biorock investigation is expected to help gain additional insight into the physical interactions of liquid, rocks, and microorganisms under microgravity conditions for novel acquisition of materials in space. In addition, data from Biorock can be used to inform the development of life support systems involving microbial components on long-duration spaceflight missions.
