While juggling cargo, the crew is also pushing science forward.
NASA's Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway upgraded a lab to study how atoms behave in zero gravity, a move that could deepen our understanding of physics.
Meanwhile, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot supported work with the Microgravity Science Glovebox and removing/storing equipment used to study cryogenic fuels for future space tech and even explored ways to produce medical-grade saline from water already on board, aiming to make the station less dependent on Earth for supplies.
