Lexington, Ky.

Among the investigations returned is a high-capacity CubeLab investigation returning 588 biological samples from Encapsulate, the University of San Diego Stem Cell Institute, The University of Notre Dame, Mithrilome, and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).

Space Tango also retrieved investigations from STEM partners Higher Orbits and The Quest Institute, LambdaVision, and the University of Connecticut.
