«For me it was very unusual, but for me it was partly with such a game moment as fishing and hunting, finding an organ, opening it, presenting it in the correct section,» she added.

The cosmonaut also said that the ultrasound device for space is practically no different from those used on Earth. However, it has been made more portable so that it can be carried to the station.

Astronauts sent images of organs to Earth so that specialists could use them to study how space flight affects the digestive system. At the same time, Kikina clarified that biomedical experiments in space should not be considered experiments on people. According to her, this is more of a study «about a person and with his participation.»
Anna Kikina, the only woman in the Russian cosmonaut corps, made her first flight to the International Space Station from October 5, 2022 to March 12, 2023. She was the first of the Russians to stay and return from the station on the American ship Crew Dragon.
