NASA's Long Duration Exposure Facility, or LDEF (pronounced "eldef"), was a cylindrical facility designed to provide long-term experimental data on the outer space environment and its effects on space systems, materials, operations and selected spores' survival.
The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL, previously called Booster Applications Facility [3]), is a heavy ion beamline research facility; part of the Collider-Accelerator Department of Brookhaven National Laboratory, located in Upton, New York on Long Island.
ECHO Reverb – the next generation metadata and service discovery tool, [1] which has replaced the former Warehouse Inventory and Search Tool (WIST); LAADS Web – Level 1 and Atmosphere Archive and Distribution System (LAADS) web interface; LANCE-MODIS – Land Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS [2]
The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE / ˈ k oʊ b i / KOH-bee), also referred to as Explorer 66, was a NASA satellite dedicated to cosmology, which operated from 1989 to 1993.Its goals were to investigate the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB or CMBR) of the universe and provide measurements that would help shape our understanding of the cosmos.
The NASA funded project is located at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland and is one of the largest astronomical databases in the world. The archive was named after Barbara Ann Mikulski , a long time champion of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes, in 2012.
GeneLab is an open-access, [1] collaborative analysis platform for space bioscience research. [2] [3] GeneLab aims to maximize the research resulting from experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS) by collecting and providing access to data from genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomics studies aboard ISS.

On 31 May 2013, NASA scientists reported the results obtained during cruise, and stated that the equivalent dose radiation for even the shortest round-trip with current propulsion systems and comparable shielding is found to be 0.66 ± 0.12 sievert. This implies a great health risk caused by energetic particle radiation for any human mission to ...
The Van Allen Probes, formerly known as the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP), [1] were two robotic spacecraft that were used to study the Van Allen radiation belts that surround Earth. NASA conducted the Van Allen Probes mission as part of the Living With a Star program. [ 2 ]
