Pink ribbon to be 3D printed aboard space station to benefit breast cancer research

A race car driver's personal mission will tie together breast cancer awareness and the International Space Station using a zero-g 3D printer and the auction of a very special pink ribbon.

Pippa Mann, whose bright pink and white race car bore the logo of Made In Space for the Indianapolis 500 in May, is extending her partnership with the in-space manufacturing company to beyond the track and all the way to orbit. This October, during Breast Cancer Awareness month, Made In Space will use its commercial 3D printer aboard the station to create a pink ribbon, which will be returned to Earth and auctioned to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation.

All times are CT (US)
