iss074e0521507 (April 27, 2026) --- An over-the-shoulder view of ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut and Expedition 74 flight engineer Sophie Adenot working inside the Kibo laboratory module's Life Science Glovebox on the Intravenous Fluid Generation – Mini (IVGen Mini) technology demonstration. Adenot was exploring ways to use the International Space Station’s potable water to produce medical-grade intra-venous fluids, or saline solutions, to treat medical conditions in space. IVGen Mini seeks to re-duce a crew’s dependence on cargo missions and avoid expiration of medical supplies on a spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Jessica Meir
