iss057e115414 (12/9/20180 --- A photo of the Team Rocket: Staying Healthy in Space investigation onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Team Rocket: Staying Healthy in Space determines the hardness and ultimate shear strength of dental resin when it is cured in microgravity. Results from this investigation contribute to future treatment of dental emergencies in space by informing the choice of product to effectively fill a dental cavity. Greater insight into the properties and performance of dental materials from this investigation may also lead to improvements to these materials and their use on Earth.
