Explore the Final Frontier with Space Station Research Xplorer
Space Station Research Xplorer by NASA offers an immersive educational experience, allowing users to engage with real-world experiments conducted in space.
Explore the diverse ecosystem of experiments being researched on the International Space Station – both completed and ongoing. Investigate the results and benefits of many of the experiments and find out why performing research in a microgravity environment is so important. The Space Station Research Explorer provides current information on ISS experiments, facilities and research results through video, photos, interactive media, and in-depth descriptions.
The Experiments section offers access to the six main experiment categories and their subcategories. Experiments are depicted as dots within the category system, with stems connecting the dots to indicate the length of time the experiment spent in orbit. Users can delve deeper to view specific experiments within the categories and subcategories, or search for particular experiments or subjects using the search option. Experiment descriptions include links, images, and publications if available. The Experiments section can be further refined by selecting a specific expedition and sponsor using the dials at the top right of the screen. Experiments can be saved to a favorites list for quick access.
The Lab Tour section provides an interior view of three station modules: Columbus, Kibo, and Destiny, along with an exterior view of seven external facilities: ELC1-4, Columbus-EPF, JEM-EF, and AMS. Users can navigate module interiors by dragging up and down to view different sides of the module, and left and right to explore racks not shown on the screen. Tapping a rack provides a brief description of the rack and an experiment summary if available. For external facilities, the platform can be rotated and zoomed in. Payloads on external racks are labeled; selecting a label provides detailed information.
The Facilities section offers information on all facilities available on board the International Space Station for conducting experiments. The facilities are categorized into six types: Physical Science, Human Research, Biology and Biotechnology, Earth and Space Science, Multipurpose, and Technology Development and Demonstration. These include centrifuges, additive manufacturing facilities, and glove boxes.
The Benefits section highlights groundbreaking discoveries from the microgravity laboratory that benefit society, technologies tested for future space exploration, new scientific breakthroughs, and contributions to the expanding low-Earth orbit (LEO) economy.
The Media section contains links to science-related videos.
The Links section serves as an index of space station research sites and NASA applications.
