Environmental Data App
The Environmental Data App (EDA) is a portal where users can visualize and compare ISS (International Space Station) cabin environmental telemetry data and radiation data gathered from spaceflight missions. On the Mission Dashboard the users can visualize Temperature, Carbon dioxide (CO2), and Relative Humidity measurements and Radiation doses recorded in the ISS cabin and ground control for the duration of the mission. The Mission Comparison feature can be used to visualize data across multiple missions. Raw and summary data is available for download on the Data Tables tab through the Data Tables section.
Rodent Research 1 (SpaceX-4)
NASA's Rodent Research Hardware System provides a research platform aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for long-duration rodent experiments in space. Scientists and engineers at Ames Research Center (ARC) developed the new system for the space station based on the Animal Enclosure Module (AEM) that flew aboard 27 space shuttle missions between 1983 and 2011 and supported studies ranging from four to 18 days. Rodent spaceflight experiments have contributed significantly to our understanding of the effects of microgravity on biological processes that are directly relevant to humans in space. The maiden voyage of the system, Rodent Research-1 (RR1), launched on SpaceX-4 CRS-4 on September 21, 2014 and returned October 25, 2014 , during ISS expeditions 41/42. Lasting 37 days, RR1 was the longest duration spaceflight rodent study to date conducted in a NASA facility. RR1 was the first mission to transport rodents aboard an unmanned commercial vehicle. The primary goal is for NASA to validate hardware and demonstrate critical research operations, while supporting the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) in sponsoring the first commercial research study.
