✦AI Summary
Astronauts on the SpaceX Fram2 mission successfully performed the first medical X-rays in orbital flight using a portable machine. This achievement demonstrates that advanced diagnostic imaging is feasible in microgravity, which is crucial for long-term space exploration.
SpaceX’s Fram2 mission , launched in late March 2025, sent four amateur astronauts where no human had gone before. The flight will go down in history as the first to send a crew to polar orbit, but it will also be remembered for a major achievement in aerospace medicine.
