MIRA

Detail photo of the various voice channels Rachael Wagner, a Husker doctoral student, uses to talk with NASA mission control in Huntsville, Alabama, as she readies the surgical robot test with 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.
