Liftoff Home Exercising Astronauts Pilot Terence Hendricks exercises on STS-44 On Earth, some people like to exercise more than others. Aboard the Space Shuttle, astronauts have little choice. On earlier missions, scientists discovered that astronauts suffered some bone and muscle deterioration because their bodies were not getting the resistance they were used to in gravity. Today, astronauts participate in a planned exercise program to counteract the effects of a near weightless envir ...

LCG Home T-Cell Research Bone Research Cancer Research The team Publications Education Previous Spaceflight Research The Laboratory of Cell Growth, directed by Dr Millie Hughes-Fulford, is located in the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, San Francisco, CA. The goal of our laboratory is to understand the mechanisms which regulate mammalian cell growth. Growth is induced by altering cell signaling and gene expression. The stimulation can be caused by ...

Our Mission The Microgravity Data Archive is a database that contains both Experiment Data Management Plans (EDMPs) and any papers/publications/presentations that were generated from both combustion and fluids experiments (flight and ground based). The EDMPs contain information for flight experiments such as: Project Scientist, summary of the experiment, what data was collected during the experiment, what data is available from the experiment, and what the results of the experiments were. Als ...

MICROGRAVITY COMBUSTION LABORATORY Part of The Combustion Processes Laboratories MCL is a NASA-funded research facility in the Department Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, aiming at studying the potential onset of fire in environments encountered in spacecraft. The research goals are to better understand and predict material flammability, combustion products, and other fire-safety related phenomena in reduced gravity environments. Research ...

Space Science News homeDigging in and taking cover Lunar and Martian dirt could provide radiation shielding for crews on future missions. July 20, 1998: Space radiation is bad for your health. Everyone has known that since the 1950s when scientists first started talking about human space travel. But no one is certain of the best ways to protect interplanetary space crews from cosmic radiation. The challenge of finding out is being added to the role of materials scientists who previously h ...

ESA Research Missions Components Assembly Tour Spacelab was a reusable laboratory designed to allow scientists to perform experiments in microgravity conditions while orbiting Earth. It was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and is mounted inside the cargo bay of NASA's Space Shuttle. Carried to orbit in the Shuttle, Spacelab provided a versatile laboratory where scientists researched many different fields of science. Spacelab was used on numerous shuttle missions between 1983 and 1997. For each mission, Spacelab components were assembled and placed into the orbiter cargo bay at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Take a Tour inside of Spacelab before you leave us. LIFTOFF Home. Updated November 29, 2000 Contacts

The USML-2 Mission Archive USML-2 launched on October 20, 1995 aboard the space shuttle Columbia. It was a 16 day mission that landed on November 5, 1995. The 2nd United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2) used the microgravity of low earth orbit for scientific and technological investigations. You can find out more about USML-2 and the scientific experiments that were conducted inside the module known as Spacelab. We also have the Post-Mission Science Report, published 90 days afte ...

LMS was a shuttle mission using the spacelab module to conduct life and microgravity experiments in a weightless environment. Experimenters from all over the world used the spacelab module facilities to conduct a wide variety of experiments from microgravity bubble behavior to protein chrystallization. Experiments also focused on the effects of weightlessness on human physiology and function. Payload operations for LMS were controlled from the Payload Operations Control Center (POCC) right ...
