Jafri's isn't the only artwork to leave planet Earth in recent years. In 2017, a work by Israeli artist Eyal Gever was 3D printed on the International Space Station (ISS).

Gever crowdsourced recordings of laughter and used the sound wave signatures to dictate the outer form of his sculpture.

"Impossible Object", a sculpture designed by physicist Yasmine Meroz, and contemporary artist Liat Segal, has also graced the ISS. This tiered structure of metal tubes released water, which created floating orbs around the sculpture.

Israeli astronaut Eytan Stibbe, who originally commissioned "Impossible Object", delivered the work into space on board the AX1 mission, as part of the Rakia art mission on the first privately funded and operated crewed mission to the ISS.
