Historic Space Missions: Arab Women Break Barriers with SpaceX and International Space Station Trips
Rayyanah Barnawi, the first female Arab astronaut, has reached the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Axiom Space's second private mission. During her 10-day stay, the biomedical scientist plans to conduct stem cell and breast cancer research. She hopes to inspire women from all backgrounds in the Middle East. The crew will conduct over 20 science and technology experiments, including the effects of space on human health and rain-seeding technology.
