Space Station Research on Fiber Manufacturing NASA astronaut Jonny Kim worked inside the Destiny module’s Microgravity Science Glovebox, installing specialized hardware for optical fiber production. Ground operators will remotely control the system to pull glass strands and analyze their quality. Producing fibers in microgravity may reduce imperfections compared to Earth-based production, leading to stronger materials…
