For the first time, Redwire Corporation was able to print the human knee meniscus on the International Space Station with the help of 3D printing.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, Redwire operates in the field of space infrastructure. This company has now been able to make the human knee meniscus in the International Space Station with the help of a new 3D printing machine.
According to the published report, scientists managed to 3D print the meniscus during the 14-day mission of Crew 6 and in an advanced experimental space processing. They have now brought the 3D print back to Earth so that they can perform a thorough analysis on it. In this research, there was a team of skilled astronauts who returned to earth a few days before and after the end of the mission. Redwire’s new achievement can have a very wide impact on space exploration or astronaut health care in the future.
Currently, many members of the armed forces in the United States or even the elderly are facing problems such as meniscus damage. On the other hand, the 3D printing of this human knee member can be considered as an aspect of this company’s space technology collection as the progress of space research. So far, this company has been able to establish 20 research centers in the International Space Station, 10 of which are active and conduct advanced research in low Earth orbit.
