Astronauts take first X-rays in space

For the first time, astronauts have successfully taken X-rays in space, moving beyond the limitations of ultrasound.

They managed to capture high-quality images of various body parts while in microgravity. This opens up exciting possibilities for medical diagnostics during space missions, making healthcare in orbit much more accessible.
