Limited orbital space flight opportunities hinder life sciences research. New flight hardware, including a tested payload configuration for the National Space Transportation System (NSTS) flights, shows promise for expanding microgravity research capabilities.

Area of Science:

  • Space life sciences
  • Microgravity research
  • Orbital experimentation

Background:

  • Access to orbital space for life sciences research is restricted.
  • Parabolic flights and sounding rockets offer limited, short-duration microgravity exposure.
  • Orbital missions are complex, with achievable science dependent on available flight hardware.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the limitations in orbital space flight opportunities for life sciences research.
  • To highlight the development and testing of generic flight hardware for space research.
  • To introduce a specific, flight-proven payload configuration for National Space Transportation System (NSTS) flights.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing microgravity research platforms (parabolic flight, sounding rockets).
