CONREX – Czech Orbital NanoRobots Experiment

CONREX – Czech Orbital NanoRobots EXperiment is a pioneering biotechnological experiment designed to test nano and micro robots for the eradication of bacterial biofilms under microgravity conditions aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Biofilms — microbial layers highly resistant to antibiotics — pose major risks to astronaut health, spacecraft systems, and long-duration missions. CONREX evaluates how autonomous microrobots can mechanically disrupt and degrade biofilms, offering a revolutionary new approach to infection control in space and on Earth.
