Türkiye's first astronaut, Alper Gezeravcı, is currently carrying out Türkiye's first space science mission on the International Space Station. By evaluating the unique conditions offered by the microgravity environment with the experiments we carry out in space, it carries out groundbreaking research in the fields of medicine and engineering. By analyzing the ability of microalgae to produce oxygen and capture carbon dioxide, we examine their potential to be used in support systems for habitats and living opportunities beyond the world in the future. By examining the behavior of cells that suppress the immune system in cancer and chronic diseases, we open the door to new treatment methods."
