In an awe-inspiring moment from the @framonauts’ Fram2 mission, our #Science Cubes MELITE and Space-THAL were captured floating freely in the cupola with the Earth’s polar regions in the background. These scientific studies, led by Malta’s biotech company @Spaceomix, are the…
The future of multi-planetary life depends on open, collaborative science. Thanks @NASAGeneLab for OSDR and the AI/ML toolkits—time to analyze! 🔭🤖 #SpaceResearch
The NASA Open Science Data Repository (expansion of @NASAGeneLab) has enabled biological & health discoveries helping humanity become multi-planetary by helping life thrive in deep space on Mars and 🌘 OSDR stores precious data anyone can use and analyze, plus a community of…
On 17 July 2025, the High Commissioner of Malta to India H.E. Reuben Gauci received Dr ANU RASALAM IRIS, an Indian National & Scientific Research Analyst at the University of Malta. She is a shining example of high academic contribution of the Indian Diaspora to Malta.
Wonderful to participate in first #Space #Haematology session at a Haematology conference thanks to #EHA2025 ! Pleasure to share the stage with @joseph_borg_ & Judith-Irina Buchheim covering rbc, wbc and clotting changes in space. @EHA_Hematology @BritSocHaem @ASH_hematology
"Scalable co-sequencing of RNA and DNA from individual nuclei" - cool new method! nature.com/articles/s4159…
We had great day with the crew & PIs for the @PolarisProgram in Houston! "Polaris Dawn crew meets with principal investigators of science and research experiments to discuss initial findings.” polarisprogram.com/polaris-dawn-c… thx @EliahOverbey @KJangkeun and SOMA team!
The dance of the dinners. Microgravity never gets old. #fram2 #microgravity #zerogravity #weightlessness #framonauts
Fascinating! Thanks for opening the doors of your lab and show this historical cube.

My return home to Norway was exceptional 🇳🇴 Our plane was greeted at OSL with a water bridge, a huge thank you to @SAS for going above and beyond ( maybe not quite as beyond as Fram2 😂), and a big hug to everyone who met up at the arrival hall at OSL ❤️ The love was felt ❤️ 📸…
We're honored to have flown Norwegian astronaut Jannicke Mikkelsen home from Los Angeles to Oslo, after her historic Fram2 space mission. Thank you, Jannicke, for flying SAS - and for inspiring us all to reach higher!
The most historic experiment we had on board was a tech demonstration: The first ever X-Ray taken in space. Project: X-Ray ⚡ Question: Can we take good quality X-Rays in space? Fun facts: - Due to bone loss in microgravity, fractures can become more likely on long duration…
Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. From top down: Prince Charles Mountains, Lambert glacier (largest on Earth and creating one of Earth’s deepest canyons), the Amery Ice Shelf, Prydz Bay. I flew across the Amery Ice Shelf in 1996 flying from Mawson to Davis stations. @framonauts
The sharp horizon bookending this clip shows the stark contrast between Earth and the void of space. In the middle we see the annual polar night over central Antarctica, caused by the South Pole’s annual tilt away from the sun.
Check out @Astro_Feustel's walkthrough of the Haven-1 Experience: full-scale, world's 1st commercial space station. Exciting times @vast & @spacefoundation's #SpaceSymposium! 🚀
While I was in space I saw paradise, pollution, frozen landscapes, city lights, traffic, auroras, vast deserts, oasis, volcanos, agriculture, and war. FRAM2 has forever changed me. I live in Svalbard but my home is planet Earth, a home I share with every one of you. @framonauts…
Congrats to all involved in #ProjectMaleth, especially @joseph_borg_ & his team. The 1st 🇲🇹 scientific project at the International Space Station is definitely no small feat👏 @MFEAMalta @MCST_Science tvm.com.mt/en/news/malta-…
The Polaris Dawn crew and dozens of principal investigators and scientists convened in Houston, Texas, yesterday to overview the initial findings of the nearly 40 science and research experiments conducted during the Polaris Dawn campaign and its five-day mission in space. We…
It was an honor and pleasure to present and work with you all!
