NASA reported on Sept. 10, 2026, that Expedition 75 crew members aboard the International Space Station focused that Thursday on science hardware and spacesuit maintenance while also filming daily life for audiences on Earth.

Station commander Jessica Meir of NASA assembled and checked the new NEMO microscope in the Destiny laboratory module, installing tissue samples and carbon dioxide monitoring hardware before verifying power and functionality. NASA said NEMO supports automated imaging of growing cells to study microgravity's effects on disease, tissue development, and drug responses. Meir later stowed physics hardware used in crystal growth research inside Destiny's Microgravity Science Glovebox. She also assisted NASA flight engineer Anil Menon in the Quest airlock as he swapped radio communications gear between two spacesuits and tested the system. Meir then inspected and stowed tethers used during four spacewalks between Aug. 6 and Sept. 1.

NASA flight engineer Jack Hathaway checked laptop computers, stowed cargo above the Unity module, installed window covers, and performed orbital plumbing maintenance in Tranquility. ESA flight engineer Sophie Adenot filmed and narrated tours of the outpost in French and English. In the Roscosmos segment, Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina inspected and photographed stowage areas in Zarya and Nauka, Kikina worked on ventilation in Zvezda, and Andrey Fedyaev checked a tablet, replaced dust filters in Nauka, and exercised.
