iss049e008864 (9/23/2016) --- Photo taken aboard the International Space Station (ISS) during the second harvest of the Plant RNA Regulation experiment performed by removing the European Modular Cultivation System (EMCS) Seed Cassettes from EMCS Rotors A and B. The Plant RNA Regulation investigation studies the first steps of gene expression involved in development of roots and shoots. Scientists expect to find new molecules that play a role in how plants adapt and respond to the microgravity environment of space, which provides new insight into growing plants for food and oxygen supplies on long-duration missions.

A test unit, or prototype, of NASA's Advanced Plant Habitat (APH) was delivered to the Space Station Processing Facility at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The APH is the largest plant chamber built for the agency. The base of the APH is being prepared for engineering development tests to see how the science will integrate with the various systems of the plant habitat. It will have 180 sensors and four times the light output of Veggie. The APH will be delivered to the International Space Station in March 2017.

model demonstrating wave power. Waves are created by wind. Winds are created by temperature differences in the atmosphere caused by the sun and by the Earth's rotation. Wave power plants convert the wave movement into electricity. There are many different technologies for doing this. Most of them make use of a turbine connected to an electric generator.

Interior lights give the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) the appearance of a high-tech juke box. The European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA are developing the MSG for use aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Scientists will use the MSG to carry out multidisciplinary studies in combustion science, fluid physics and materials science. The MSG is managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC).

jsc2023e046377 (12/14/2019) --- A view of the Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiments (Saffire) VI experiment hardware, loaded inside the Northrop Grumman (NG) Cygnus cargo vehicle for the 19th NG resupply mission to the International Space Station. Saffire is a series of experiments to investigate how fire spreads on a variety of combustible materials in the microgravity environment. The experiments are ignited in the Cygnus cargo spacecraft after it departs the space station and before it reenters the Earth's atmosphere. Saffire-VI builds on prior results to test flammability at different oxygen levels and aims to further knowledge of realistic flame spread to aid the development of fire safety equipment and strategies for future spacecraft.

There are numerous possible applications of this research project in other crucial social domains, such as healthcare of the elderly and of people with muscle atrophy disorders, through the implementation of new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of diseases involving oxidative stress as causing factor.
