The SpaceX Dragon returns to Earth with 3D Printed Payload
Last night, the Dragon supply capsule splashed back to Earth after 29 days attached to the Harmony lab on the International Space Station, bringing with it almost $3,700 pounds of research cargo. Among the Dragon's cargo were 3D printed objects created on the ISS's 3D printer. With 3D printing appearing an ever-more viable technology for space exploration, the objects brought to Earth will provide valuable information about how space-made objects hold up and compare to the same objects 3D printed on Earth.
