First full demonstration of SEM microanalysis in space!

The culmination of years of hard work, Voxa’s Mochii completed its first full technical demonstration and captured the first ever SEM images and EDX spectra in space! On January 13, 2022, NASA astronaut Kayla Barron set up the sample on board the International Space Station, and Dr. Kathie Thomas-Keprta tele-operated from Johnson Space Center in Houston with support from Voxa engineers in Seattle. NASA Astromaterials posted a celebratory tweet!
