Astronaut Alexander Gerst of ESA (European Space Agency) exhales into an ultra-sensitive gas analyzer for the Airway Monitoring experiment. The experiment studies the occurrence and indicators of airway inflammation in crew members to help flight surgeons plan safer, long-term missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Results may also help doctors treat patients on Earth with asthma or other airway inflammatory diseases.
