Israel news photo: NASANASA astronauts are using a General Electric Healthcare device designed in Israel for monitoring the impact of space travel on the human body.
The astronauts blasted off with the “Vivid q” Cardiovascular Ultrasound last July on the final space shuttle flight of the International Space Station (ISS) but it was not put into action until recently, GE Healthcare spokespersons told Arutz Sheva. The space station is planned to operate through 2020.
Israel’s part in the device on the space shuttle had not previously been revealed.
