Abstract The First International Microgravity Laboratory (IML-1) with its international payloads dedicated to life sciences and microgravity science research was conducted from January 22 to 30, 1992. The primary objective of the IML mission was to conduct science and technology investigations that require the low-gravity environment of space. As a cooperative effort which involved more than 200 scientists from 14 countries, coordination of science was a major activity. Science priorities which satisfied both life science and microgravity science mission goals were balanced within and among payload elements depending upon available mission resources such as time and crew availability. The scientific results to date have been excellent and show the benefits of experimentation on Spacelab.
