For nearly a decade, Genes in Space™ has challenged students to develop spaceflight experiments that use biotechnology to address spaceflight challenges. Founded by Boeing and miniPCRbio, the program relies on […]
Ten years ago, it was predicted that the multi-omics revolution would also revolutionize space pharmacogenomics. Current barriers related to the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible use of space-flown pharmaceutical data […]
Food sustainability is one of the most significant barriers to long-term space travel. Providing resources from Earth is not cost-efficient, and resupply missions are not viable to meet the needs […]
Editor’s note: we will soon begin to explore the oceans of Enceladus, Europa, Ganymede, and other worlds in our solar system – and eventually, worlds circling other stars. We’ll be […]
Expanding human space exploration beyond Earth’s orbit necessitates efficient technologies for self-sustainable acquisition of local resources to overcome unviable resupply missions from Earth. Potential source of materials are asteroids, some […]
NASA astronaut and Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli sequences DNA samples for the BioMole study demonstrating hardware that can analyze microbes to protect crew health and spacecraft life support […]
Editor’s note: you are on a mission to explore a new world. While you are out on an Away Mission one of your instruments breaks , wears out, or otherwise […]
Researchers at the University of Sussex have discovered the transformative potential of Martian nanomaterials, potentially opening the door to sustainable habitation on the red planet.
Space botany, human research, and bioprinting were the dominant science topics aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The Expedition 70 septet also focused on lab hardware and cargo operations […]
Editor’s note: As we search for life on other worlds via orbital and surface surveys, it is useful to use Earth and its diverse biota on land, sea, and air, […]
