Repetitive stability study of remdesivir/cyclodextrin complex on the international space station by György Dormán, Balázs Buchholcz, István Puskás, Pál Szabó, Erzsébet Varga, Lajos Szente, György M. Keserű, Ferenc Darvas

“…Therefore, we investigated the stability of an anti-Covid drug formulation, Remdesivir (RDV) sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBECD) complex, in two separate flight experiments on the International Space Station (ISS). While HPLC/MS studies revealed no degradation of the cyclodextrin excipient in any of the samples investigated in both missions, RDV purity analysis of the RDV/SBECD complex after the first mission revealed different stabilities and altered degradation in space and on Earth. …”

Orbit Determination of China’s Space Station Using Real ISL Measurements of the Tianzhou-6 Spacecraft by Haijian Fang, Fan Wang, Xueming Yu, Baohua Wang, Jiasong Wang, Yufan He, Minzhang Han, Dan Wang, Jingqi Huang

“…In this article, we would like to discuss the idea of jointly using the GNSS observations and ISL ranging and orientation measurements of the Tianzhou-6 (TZ-6) spacecraft to generate the orbit solutions of China’s space station (CSS). Motivated by the requirement of mission implementation, the data processing procedure of the ISL orientation measurements is introduced based on the TZ-6 spacecraft attitude. …”

30 years of CNES parabolic flights for the benefit of the scientific community by Rouquette, Sébastien

“…The use of parabolic flights is complementary to other microgravity carriers, and preparatory to manned space missions onboard the International Space Station and other manned spacecraft, around the Earth or beyond, to the Moon for example.The main advantages of parabolic flights for microgravity investigations are the short turn-around time, the relatively low cost, the flexibility of experimental approach, the possibility of direct intervention by investigators on board the aircraft during and between parabolas, and the possibility of modifying the experiment set-up between flights.…”
