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.
