Live from aboard the International Space Station, astronauts of NASA's SpaceX Crew-7 mission talk with Senator Bill Nelson, NASA administrator, and Dr. Lisa Carnell, director of NASA’s Biological and Physical Sciences Division, about some of the groundbreaking research and technology demonstrations aboard the orbiting laboratory, which include:

• Demonstration of a small robot controlled remotely from our home planet to perform surgery in space
  
  
• A study on bone loss in space that may improve our understanding of age-related bone loss on Earth

Participating in the Earth-to-space call from orbit are astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli of NASA, Andreas Mogensen of the European Space Agency, and Satoshi Furukawa of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
