Insulin crystals grown with Redwire's PIL-BOX aboard the International Space Station. This image was taken after the crystals returned to Earth in April 2024. This control compound helps the body convert food into energy and store it for later use. The ADSEP-PIL-02 investigation aims to study the effect of microgravity on the production of various types of crystals. Image courtesy of Redwire.
