The National Lab is sponsoring multiple investigations on the Northrop Grumman Cygnus capsule that are aimed at improving life on Earth through space-based research.
The launch—which is slated for no earlier than Sunday, February 9— will carry a diverse set of research and technology development projects sponsored by the National Lab.
Among the ISS National Lab-sponsored payloads are two investigations from leading academic institutions. Although both fall within the area of life sciences, they are studying very different things.
HNu Photonics Mobile SpaceLab facility offers investigators a quick-turnaround automated platform to perform sophisticated microgravity biology experiments.
A student-designed experiment currently on station seeks to explore how humans can sustainably grow food crops in space habitats.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Rhodium Scientific are using the spaceflight environment to understand how microorganisms evolve in the absence of gravity.
From the 1st launch back in 2013 to the most recent one, take a look back at all the science that launched to the ISS National Lab!
