NASA astronaut Anil Menon solders components on a circuit board inside the International Space Station

iss075e0103084 (Sept. 14, 2026) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Anil Menon uses a lead-free soldering technique to solder components on a circuit board and demonstrate the manufacturing and repair of electronics in microgravity. Menon conducted safe research operations inside a container system attached to the Harmony module's maintenance work area to protect the International Space Station's atmosphere. The MIYOKA experiment will return the space-soldered samples to Earth for analysis and compare them to identical ground-soldered samples. Results may lead to reduced reliance on costly resupply missions. Credit: ESA/Sophie Adenot
