International Space Station Science Research Accomplishments During the Assembly Years: An Analysis of Results from 2000-2008

摘要: This report summarizes research accomplishments on the International Space Station (ISS) through first 15 Expeditions. When programs for early Expeditions were established, five administrative organizations executing ISS: bioastronautics research, fundamental space biology, physical science, product development, and flight. The Vision Exploration led to changes in NASA's structures, so we have grouped experiments topically by scientific themes human exploration, biological sciences, technology observing Earth, educating inspiring next generation even when these do not correspond structure at time which they completed. flew are preserved appendix of this document. These investigations ISS laid groundwork planning come. Humans performing serve as a model goals future missions. success wide variety is an important hallmark ISS. Of summarized here, some completed with results released, preliminary results, remain ongoing.
