A duplicate of the box holding a Space MIRA sits on a table in front of screens showing the video feed from the International Space Station. Nebraska Engineering professor and Virtual Incision founder Shane Farritor successfully performed robotic surgery on the International Space Station. Controlled from the Virtual Incision offices in Lincoln, NE, surgeons cut rubber bands–mimicking surgery–inside a payload box on the International Space Station. February 10, 2024.
