NASA’s October 13 station log documents Anil Menon joining fellow astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney for eye checks aboard the International Space Station. The crew used a medical imaging device, according to the agency’s account.
NASA describes the checks as work to help doctors understand how microgravity affects the retina, cornea and lens. The activity record gives no measurement values or clinical findings from the session.
Earlier on October 13, Menon and Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk inspected and cleaned a science freezer in the station’s Kibo laboratory, the same log records.
Menon is an emergency-medicine physician born and raised in Minneapolis to Ukrainian and Indian immigrants, NASA’s biography states. He launched to the station on July 14, 2026, for an approximately eight-month mission.
