WHY ARE WE SENDING NEURON CELLS
A NEW WATER SYSTEM
AND A PLASMA MONITOR TO THE SPACE STATION?
DOZENS OF NEW EXPERIMENTS WILL SOON ARRIVE AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY AND FUTURE MISSIONS TO SPACE
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S ONBOARD NORTHROP GRUMMAN’S 19TH CARGO MISSION
A new external instrument aims to improve GPS accuracy by using station’s unique position in the ionosphere to monitor plasma density.
An updated potable water dispenser system demonstrates advanced water sanitization methods for future exploration missions.
After Cygnus leaves station, large flames ignited inside the vehicle will test flammability at different oxygen levels.
Digital art created by over 13,000 students flies to station to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.
Researchers will use microgravity to create a 3D neuron cell culture to test gene therapy for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
THESE EXPERIMENTS WILL JOIN THE HUNDREDS OF ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS ABOARD THE ORBITING LABORATORY.
