The scientific return of PLEXISS can give important information for the understanding of the transient atmospheres of several other bodies of the Solar System; in particular, the European cornerstone mission Bepi-Colombo to planet Mercury can greatly benefit from PLEXISS. This paper describes the two...
However, if they had unmanned aerial probes back then, Jefferson likely would have used them in lieu of a manned excursion, as they are a lot cheaper to employ. They can retrieve the same kind of information and data. If you are simply after knowledge and understanding, you don't have t...

This coronagraph will be looking at two types of solar wind. In one, the solar wind travels directly outward from our star, pulling the magnetic field from the Sun into the heliosphere, the bubble that surrounds our solar system. The other type of solar wind forms from magnetic field lines ...
Samples from theAging and Heart Healthstudy conducted during Ax-1. The study analyzes human cells for genetic markers of cellular aging and explores how cardiac-like cells adapt to microgravity. A better understanding of the mechanisms of cellular aging and cardiac adaptation could...
the cosmonauts' daily routine. All the physical activities are accompanied by continued heartbeat and arterial pressure measurements. The cosmonauts also begin taking some food additives designed to reduce dehydration of the body. The crew members also refresh their understanding of the landing ...
A comparison between fire on Earth (left) and fire in a microgravity environment, such as that found on the ISS (right).One research goal is to improve the understanding of long-term space exposure on the human body. Subjects currently being studied include muscle atrophy, bone loss, and fl...
