It includes a pressurized module named Kibo , which means Hope. JEM is a package of three enclosed modules and an exposed platform to be attached to the station outside truss for space environment experiments. JEM includes a robotic manipulator system and two logistics modules. One module is a pressurized laboratory Two of the components are logistics modules The exposed facility will allow experiments to be carried out in a place open to the space environment The JEM components will be assembled in space over the course of three shuttle missions, probably in 2004-2005. The National Space Development Agency of Japan developed the JEM/Kibo/Hope laboratory at the Tsukuba Space Center near Tokyo. An ocean cargo ship departed Yokohama Harbor in Japan on May 2, 2003, carrying Kibo, and arrived at Cape Canaveral on June 4, 2003. The Japanese laboratory elements are awaiting launch at the Space Station Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

FASEB Report Sustaining the Commitment: Federal Funding for Biomedical and Related Life Sciences Research, FY 1997 National Aeronautics and Space Administration ". . . . A stronger Life Sciences program is an imperative if the the U.S. space policy is to construct a permanently manned Space Station and achieve its stated goal of expanding the human presence beyond Earth orbit into the solar system." Frederick C. Robbins, MD Nobel Laureate (1988) Personal communication to Daniel Fink, Chairman. NASA Advisory Council. Agency Mission The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the only Federal Agency that can explore the role of gravity in living systems. Although hypergravity can be studied on Earth's surface with centrifuges, only by escaping Earth's gravitational force can the influence of gravity on morphology, function, reproduction, and development be determined. Ongoing NASA life science projects include the Life and Microgravity Spacelab Mission (LMS), the U.S. Microgravity Payload Mission (USMP-3), the Neurolab Mission, and a series of missions during which the American Space Shuttle will dock with the Russian Space Station. In recent years, NASA has strengthened the quality of its external merit review of research proposals, has developed strong collaborative research efforts with many individual Institutes within NIH, and has increased its role in educating American students in biomedical issues and challenges surrounding life in space.

In the process, Spacelab brought together scientists whose diverse disciplines would have kept them from meeting but for one fact. Their experiments somehow made the right fit, or at least did not interfere, so they could fly together.

It was a wonderful experience to be involved in so many different fields of science." On his flight in 1985, Acton, a solar physicist, also worked on experiments in plant growth, vitamin D metabolism, and infrared, X-ray, and cosmic ray astrophysics.

NASA Science News home Breathing Easy on the Space Station Life support systems on the ISS provide oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and manage vaporous emissions from the astronauts themselves. It's all part of breathing easy in our new home in space. Listen to this story (requires RealPlayer November 13, 2000 Many of us stuck on Earth wish we could join (at least temporarily) the Expedition 1 crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Floating effortlessly from module to module, looking down on Earth from a breathtaking height of 350 kilometers.... It's a dream come true for innumerable space lovers. Right: An artist's rendering of the ISS as it currently appears. But be careful what you wish for! Living on the Space Station also means hard work, cramped quarters, and... what's that smell? Probably more outgassing from a scientific experiment or, worse yet, a crewmate. With 3 to 7 people sharing a small enclosed volume on the still-growing Space Station, air management is critical. Life support systems on the ISS must not only supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the cabin's atmosphere, but also prevent gases like ammonia and acetone, which people emit in small quantities, from accumulating. Vaporous chemicals from science experiments are a potential hazard, too, if they combine in unforeseen ways with other elements in the air supply.

As NASA's protein crystal growth (PCG) program makes its 35th flight aboard the Space Shuttle, several products are showing great promise as they move into the final stages of human clinical trials, Dr. Lawrence Delucas, a principal investigator from the University of Alabama in Birmingham told reporters Thursday afternoon. "Space has played a critical role" in bringing many of these new drugs closer to reality, he said. Delucas is the principal investigator for the Vapor Diffusion Apparatus (VDA-2) aboard the MSL-1 mission. He also is director of the Center for Macromolecular Crystallography at UAB, and was a payload specialist on the first U.S. Microgravity Laboratory (USML-1) Spacelab mission in 1992. The Space Sciences Laboratory at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is NASA's center of excellence in this field.

Those missions entirely administered by ESA often have one member country or more as the principal participant or lead state. In some cases, the distinction between international and national programs may be somewhat blurred. For example, the first major ESA life sciences experiments were the Biorack, Anthrorack, and Vestibular Sled flown on Spacelab D1, which was primarily funded by Germany. Of the three European astronauts who flew on that mission, two were German and one was Dutch. While Germany is a strong participant in ESA, its two astronauts were official representatives of DARA on Spacelab D1. The Dutch astronaut was a representative for ESA (Section 5.1.3).

1. INTRODUCTION We have now conducted space life sciences research for more than four decades. The continuing interest in studying the way living systems function in space derives from two main benefits of that research. First, in order for humans to engage in long-term space travel, we must understand and develop measures to counteract the most detrimental effects of space flight on biological systems. Problems in returning to the conditions on Earth must be kept to a manageable level. Second, increasing our understanding of how organisms function in the absence of gravity gives us new understanding of fundamental biological processes. This information can be used to improve human health and the quality of life on Earth. Years of research in space have also demonstrated that plants, as well as humans and animals, are affected by space flight. Cell division is decreased in space-grown plants and chromosomal abnormalities such as breakage and fusion are reported to occur more frequently in plants grown in space than in those grown on Earth. Researchers have found that changes detected by plant gravity sensors result in alterations of growth patterns, biomass production, and development in plants during space flight. Understanding these changes is critical because the ecological life support systems needed to support humans during future long-term space travel depend on the ability to grow plants reliably and efficiently in space. The primary goal of this book is to profile the space life sciences research activities undertaken by ARC and KSC between 1991 and 1995. It is a companion volume to

Scientists debated whether or not humans were contributing to a "greenhouse effect" similar to that seen on the planet Venus . And an astronomer from Cornell University who worked on that Venusian research, among other things, stepped out as the host of a most unusual public-TV series titled "Cosmos." "For the first time, we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves," Carl Sagan declared at the top of the show. "This is a time of great danger, but our species is young, and curious, and brave. It shows much promise." Sagan passed away nine years ago - but "Cosmos" lives on, along with many of the dangers and all of the promise that he saw a quarter-century ago. Next week, the 13-part documentary series returns to television, digitally remastered and completely retooled with computer graphics reflecting our updated understanding of the cosmos. The first two hourlong installments air Tuesday on cable television's Science Channel, kicking off the weekly series.
