2014-02-26 | Four current and upcoming SPHERES technology demonstrations are of particular significance to robotics engineers, rocket launch companies, NASA exploration and anyone who uses communications systems on Earth.
2014-02-12 | A new fleet of 28 small satellites made by Planet Labs, called Flock 1, is considered the largest single constellation of Earth-imaging satellites ever to launch into space. They began deploying Feb. 11 from the International Space Station.
2014-02-10 | The Multi-Gas Monitor, a shoebox-sized, battery-powered monitor aboard the space station, can measure the concentrations of multiple gases within the air inside of it in less than one second.
2014-02-06 | The Cloud-Aerosol Transport System is scheduled to launch to the space station in Sept. 2014 to help researchers determine what state-of-the-art, three-wavelength laser technology can do from space to measure aerosols in Earth's atmosphere.
2014-02-03 | A rehydration beverage developed by John Greenleaf, physiologist and former researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center, to treat low body water in astronauts is now being used to improve human performance under various conditions on Earth.
2014-02-01 | The announcement by the Obama Administration to support the extension of the orbiting laboratory to at least 2024 gives the station a decade to continue its already fruitful microgravity research mission.
2014-01-21 | Fire continues to be a focus of study with the Burning and Suppression of Solids-II (BASS-II) experiments, which recently launched to the International Space Station aboard the Orbital 1 cargo resupply mission.
2014-01-16 | The Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image collects data that help researchers discover, study and understand the physics behind the lifecycle of our universe. MAXI was key in two recent publications sharing results that make strides in astrophysics.
2014-01-11 | 23 new Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP) research studies departed for the ISS with the Orbital Sciences Corporation's Cygnus launch on Jan. 9. Many SSEP accomplishments were presented at their annual 2013 conference.
2014-01-07 | In its first commercial resupply journey after completion of NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, the Orbital-1 mission will deliver some very interesting new scientific investigations to the space station.
2014-01-06 | The Antibiotic Effectiveness in Space investigation, scheduled to launch in January aboard the first contracted Orbital resupply flight to the space station, is a systematic attempt to probe the reasons for antibiotic resistance in space.
2013-12-20 | A better understanding of fluid slosh could not only decrease fuel uncertainty, but increase efficiency, reduce costs and allow additional payloads to be launched with each rocket.
2013-12-20 | Dr. Cameron meets with clients that have PTSD as a result of extraterrestrial encounters
2013-12-12 | Two recent investigations examined mechanisms that may explain eye changes in spaceflight, help find ways to minimize this health risk to astronauts and eventually prevent and treat eye diseases on Earth.
