ISS GLOVEBOX

Training in the ISS glovebox, for biological experiments that need to be contained, gives me an appreciation for the scientists that do this every day. Science leads to discoveries, to new technologies, to a better life, to further exploration: it lets us go Beyond. The Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) is a sealed facility that provides an enclosed space for investigations conducted in a low-gravity, or microgravity, environment created on the International Space Station (ISS). The Glovebox accommodates small and medium-sized investigations from disciplines including biotechnology, combustion science, fluid physics, fundamental physics, and materials science. The MSG can provide the experiment with power, data acquisition, computer communications, vacuum, nitrogen, and specialized tools. It is designed to more closely simulate working laboratory conditions on the ground. The Glovebox provides a safe environment for Space Station crew to conduct research with liquids, fl...

The crash occurred hours after Iran fired multiple missiles into Iraq, targeting U.S. military sites in what appeared to be retaliation for the recent American drone strike that killed one of its top generals. jd MB he site of the crash of a Ukraine Airlines passenger jet near the Iranian capital of Tehran is seen in this still image...  more The site of the crash of a Ukraine Airlines passenger jet near the Iranian capital of Tehran is seen in this still image from an Associated Press video, Jan. 8, 2020.
