[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 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.
Research performed using the HRF-1 provides data to help scientists understand how the human body adapts to long-duration space flight. HRF-1 consists of items mounted in a rack (based on the EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station (EXPRESS) rack design) as well as equipment kept in stowage and brought out as needed.

Two NASA astronauts brought to the International Space Station by Boeing's Starliner capsule in June have been stranded there since due to unforeseen issues with the spacecraft's propulsion system.
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.
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 micrometeoroids ...
