Space-station crew completes a lead-free soldering experiment
NASA’s 18 September station update reports the final run of an experiment testing how electronic components can be soldered in microgravity.
Anil Menon worked on a circuit board that will return to Earth for comparison with samples made on the ground. The same update describes lunar-piloting simulation work. These are research activities aboard the International Space Station, rather than a lunar landing.
