[1] [2] The 2005 NASA Authorization Act designated the American segment of the International Space Station as a national laboratory with the goal of increasing the use of the ISS by other federal agencies and the private sector. [3] Research on the ISS improves knowledge about the effects of long-term space exposure on the human body.
The official Air Force statement is that the project is "an experimental test program to demonstrate technologies for a reliable, reusable, uncrewed space test platform for the U.S. Air Force". [26] The primary objectives of the X-37B are twofold: reusable spacecraft technology and operating experiments, which can be returned to Earth. [26]
Astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams bungeed to the TVIS treadmill aboard the International Space Station. The Treadmill with Vibration Isolation Stabilization System, commonly abbreviated as TVIS, is a treadmill for use on board the International Space Station and is designed to allow astronauts to run without vibrating delicate microgravity science experiments in adjacent labs.
The Materials ISS Experiment Flight Facility (MISSE-FF) platform provides the ability to test materials, coatings, and components or other larger experiments in the harsh environment of space, which is virtually impossible to do collectively on Earth.
SPHERES aboard ISS. The Synchronized Position Hold Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellite (SPHERES) are a series of miniaturized satellites developed by MIT's Space Systems Laboratory for NASA and US Military, to be used as a low-risk, extensible test bed for the development of metrology, formation flight, rendezvous, docking and autonomy algorithms that are critical for future space ...
ExPRESS Logistics Carrier number 1. An EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station (ExPRESS) Logistics Carrier (ELC) is an unpressurized attached payload platform for the International Space Station (ISS) that provides mechanical mounting surfaces, electrical power, and command and data handling services for Orbital Replacement Units (ORUs) as well as science experiments on the ISS.
Materials ISS Experiment-Flight Facility (MISSE-FF): a facility that tests materials, coatings, and components in space. [12] Experiments will show how materials react to ultraviolet radiation (UV), atomic oxygen (AO), ionizing radiation , ultra-high vacuum (UHV), charged particles , thermal cycles , electromagnetic radiation , and ...
