In the lab of the West Virginia University Microgravity Research Team, undergraduate engineering student Renee Garneau works on a 3D printer that’s custom-designed for operation in little to no gravity. By enabling low-waste manufacture of equipment that can purify water and provide UV shielding, Garneau’s work could enable extended missions into deep space.
