As part of its SpaceX Crew-4 mission that launched to the International Station earlier this week, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is moving forward with an experiment to manufacture organic retinas in space. NASA partnered up with Farmington, Connecticut firm LambdaVision which designs and develops protein-based artificial retinas in 2020, and the experiment will continue to explore retina manufacturing in space as part of the agency's efforts to develop a multi-billion-dollar low Earth orbit (LEO) space economy.
