Astronauts made the first X-ray image of a person in space.


Participants of the SpaceX mission spent more than 4 days in polar orbit, where no one has been before. During this mission, they took the first X-ray image of a person in space, which is a groundbreaking achievement in space medicine.
X-ray technology is used for diagnosing and monitoring medical conditions while in orbit, including fractures and signs of bone decalcification. Scientists have long dreamed of finding a way to take an X-ray in space, and now thanks to SpaceX astronauts, this dream has become a reality.
This mission was financially supported by billionaire Chun Wang from Malta, who, along with three other astronauts, spent over 3 days in orbit. During this period, they conducted 22 scientific experiments and took several X-ray images of various body parts and electronics to test their operation in the conditions of outer space.
This historic mission demonstrated that X-ray diagnostics are possible in space, opening up new possibilities for future space exploration.
