Explore the basics of many types of science and technology disciplines that are being studied and tested aboard the space station.
The International Space Station provides unique features that enable innovative research, including microgravity, exposure to space, a unique orbit, and hands-on operation by crew members.NASA astronaut Megan McArthur services donor cells inside the Kibo laboratory module’s Life Science Glovebox for the Celestial Immunity study.The International Space Station is a modern marvel.
Wherever there are humans, there are microbes, too. Bacteria and fungi live all around us, in our homes, offices, industrial areas, the outdoors – even in space. People literally could not live without these tiny organisms, many of which are beneficial.NASA astronaut and Expedition 66 Flight Engineer Kayla Barron checks out plants growing inside the Veggie botany research facility for the Veggie PONDS experiment.
Researchers from around the world use the International Space Station to address complex human health problems on Earth, studying disease formation, testing drugs and diagnostic tools, and examining the inner workings of the human body. Much of this work employs unique microgravity tools including protein crystals and tissue chips, as well as devices designed specifically for space but that also have been adapted for use on Earth.
From DNA sequencing to 3D printing, studies on the space station can test a variety of technologies, systems, and materials that will benefit life on Earth and be needed for future long-duration exploration missions.Things behave a bit differently aboard the International Space Station, thanks to microgravity. Sure, floating looks like fun, but it could also unlock new scientific discoveries.
