The microgravity environment experienced in spaceflight induces a range of physiological and cellular adaptations. To investigate these changes on Earth, researchers employ ground-based analogues—such ...

Do we have enough fuel to get to our destination? This is probably one of the first questions that comes to mind whenever your family gets ready to embark on a road trip. If the trip is long, you will ...

India has taken its first bold steps into space biology with a series of pioneering experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS), as part of the Axiom-4 mission-referred to by some as ...

How do bacteria fare in space? A new study examines the effects of microgravity on melanin biosynthesis in Escherichia coli (E. coli) aboard the International Space Station (ISS), offering crucial ...

This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section is an overview of the materials-science microgravity research program implemented by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ...

For deep-space missions to the moon, Mars and beyond, one deceptively simple question drives some of NASA’s most complex engineering challenges: How do you keep enough fuel cold—and stable—long enough ...
