The primary goal of this book is to profile the space life sciences research activities undertaken by Ames Research Center (ARC) and Kennedy Space Center (KSC) between 1991 and 1995. Space life sciences research is defined as the space-based study of biological and biomedical processes using living organisms. All space flight experiments conducted by ARC and KSC, using microorganisms, cell cultures, plants, and animals are discussed here. It also contains updates to the life sciences research interests of the space agencies; it gives readers an idea of the processes and challenges of experimenting with living organisms in the space environment; it contains payload and mission descriptions; and focuses on the future directions of the space life sciences research program, with particular emphasis on NASA/Mir and the International Space Station.
