Week Ends Aboard Station With Robotics

Health technology can be useful, but it becomes risky when people mistake consumer sensors for medical devices. The key is understanding what the data actually shows and what it doesn’t.

Reporting

NASA Science reports that Week Ends Aboard Station With Robotics, Spacewalk Reviews, and Science. Expedition 75 ended the week studying Canadarm2 robotic arm maneuvers and reviewing procedures for a spacewalk to support the removal and replacement of a space-to-ground antenna on Tuesday, Aug. 18. Science remained on Friday’s schedule as the International Space Station residents studied space exercise techniques, explored aerodynamic drag forces, and… The key issue is evidence: what the device measures, how reliable the measurement is, who can safely use it, and where medical guidance is still needed.
