Categories of Space Experiment For Space and Earth. Possibilities expanded by International Space Station For future space development and rich life on the Earth ISS provides mankind with a basis for full-scale activities in space. Man's dreams of space take a giant stride forward. Utilizing the near-zero-gravity environment in ISS, new types of materials will be developed. In addition, astronomical observations will be conducted to solve the secret of space, Earth observations will track global environmental changes, and researches will be conducted for mankind to live in space. Microgravity Science Microgravity Experiment - New material development in a microgravity environment - In an environment with no gravity, differences of weight or specific gravity of materials do not cause materials to move or mix due to convection. Utilizing such an environment, it will become possible to conduct research and development on new or higher quality material. These experiments will provide new materials medicines useful for our daily life. In a microgravity environment, protein crystals can be grown with better quality than on Earth. These crystals will be analyzed to clarify the structure of proteins. This will promote research into the causes of sicknesses or development of medicines.

advertisement NASA Requests Money for Shuttle Upgrades, New Mars Mission, Nuclear Propulsion Special Report: Odyssey Mission to Mars Lives Lost, Lives Saved: The Benefits of Shuttle Science NASA Science Sets its Sights on Human Mars Mission By Robert Roy Britt Senior Science Writer posted: 02:45 pm ET 05 February 2003 NASA's 2004 budget request, released Monday and overshadowed by the Columbia disaster, represents strong support for space science. It also shows hints of an elevated commitment to Mars both as a science target and a place NASA wants to eventually send humans. For the moment, space science has taken a backseat to the shuttle investigation, within NASA and among scientists, politicians and the public. Researchers acknowledge and appreciate that it could take many months for experiments aboard shuttles to get back on track. But the vast bulk of space science research will proceed pretty much as usual. The shuttle program combined with the International Space Station accounts for only a portion of the overall pure science activities conducted by NASA, a program that includes the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as the Mars Odyssey and Galileo missions. These ongoing endeavors won't be affected, says Louis Friedman, executive director of the Planetary Society, in a telephone interview Wednesday with

Index A to Z You are here: home iss space life science research Space Life Science Research on the ISS EVARM H-REFLEX The benefits of Space Life Sciences research will be twofold: it will help us understand life in space, providing opportunities for longer, safer stays in space for astronauts; and it will use the unique environment of space to provide information to help Canadians in everyday life on Earth. Canadian life science research on the ISS will focus on bone and muscle loss, cardiovascular physiology, neuroscience, radiation, and isolation and cross-cultural psychology. Bone loss is one of the principle factors limiting long duration spaceflight such as a flight to Mars. Astronauts lose about 0.5% of their bone mass each month while they are in space. Furthermore, when astronauts return from long flights they do not recover all of the bone mass they have lost. Experiments by Canadian researchers have shown that the process of bone loss in space is similar to that in Osteoporosis on earth. Over 1.4 million Canadians, both men and women, currently suffer from this debilitating condition. One of the main causes of death in women over 60 is complications arising from fractures caused by osteoporosis. One in four women in North America will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime (1 in 8 for men) and 20 per cent of patients die within one year of a hip fracture. Space allows researchers to study bone loss in a rapid fashion. The normal rate of bone loss during osteoporosis is 0.5 to 1% each year. In space we see bone losses of the same magnitude each month. The accelerated bone loss allows us to screen treatments and medications as well as develop new understanding of the process, which can then be applied on earth.

Forums Good Astronomy Activities on the World Wide Web printer-friendly version This resource list includes a small selection of especially effective astronomy activities designed for K-12 classes and science projects. We focus on those activities that are either hands-on, or at least encourage students to think for themselves, and not merely follow a cookbook recipe or fill in a few blanks. Each listing has a brief summary and comments; note that these comments are the opinion of the list's compiler and are not the "official policy" of Project ASTRO or the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Another person in astronomy education may have selected a different list of activities and may have had different things to say about them. Additions or suggestions for future editions of this list are most welcome. The Web is now a huge, and mostly unorganized, repository of information, and we make no claim that our list is complete. Instead, we simply hope that it can introduce you to the wide range of organizations and institutions that are working to put astronomy activities on the web, and to give you leads for activities that contain reasonable astronomy and emphasize hands-on, inquiry-based learning.

Science 6 Core Unit: Exploring Space Unit overview The unit examines the impact of technology on the space program, in the past, and at present. Students also have an opportunity to speculate on the direction that space exploration could (or should) take in the future. Due to the nature of the material in this unit, fewer opportunities exist for hands-on activities. However, the unit provides many opportunities to develop Independent Learning, in conjunction with a Resource-Based Learning approach to researching and investigating space exploration. The optional unit, earth's climate , can also be integrated with this unit. Climatic patterns on earth can be studied by analyzing information which has been sent back to earth from weather satellites. These satellites provide us with information that would have been difficult, if not impossible, to obtain otherwise. Once consideration is given to climate, then the related life science units on Ecosystems and Plant and Animal Adaptations can be brought in as well. Science writing and reading activities, as discussed in this Guide, should be incorporated into each lesson. Writing science fiction stories based on science fact, reading articles from newspapers or magazines, and summarizing what they have read in the form of a chart are only two strategies through which students may refine their understanding of the concepts of science and develop their ability to communicate through the written word.

4 August 1995 The EUROMIR 95 mission will offer European scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study living and working conditions in space. The record-breaking 135-day mission, scheduled for launch in early September, will be the second flight by an ESA astronaut aboard Russia's Mir space station. Scientists from across Europe have devised an extensive programme of experiments spanning the fields of life sciences, astrophysics, materials science and technology. In total, 41 investigations, taking 450 hours, are planned. EUROMIR 95 astronaut Thomas Reiter and his colleague Christer Fuglesang, who is on stand-by this mission, have completed the bulk of their training to perform the scientific programme. Life Sciences The majority of EUROMIR 95 experiments will investigate the effects of 'weightless' conditions on the human body. Since the first manned flight in space, scientists have documented significant changes in the way the body behaves in microgravity, but have yet to understand fully why these happen. Learning more about how the body reacts in space will benefit future space travellers and may also inform and improve medical practice on Earth. By removing gravity from the equation, scientists can learn more about important processes that take place inside our bodies. The areas under research include the body's cardiovascular pressure sensor system, a network of biological sensors which measure and regulate blood pressure. In space, these receptors adjust the blood pressure to compensate for the lack of gravity. When some astronauts return to the gravity of Earth their blood pressure falls, which can cause fainting and other problems. Understanding how these receptors work will lead to advances which may benefit the millions of people who suffer from health problems related to blood pressure.
