For one thing, drugs made through crystallization can be made more uniformly in the microgravity of space.
In the microgravity of orbit, such a trajectory would send the spiders soaring past their dinner.
Left to its own devices in the microgravity of space, the body assumes what NASA calls the "neutral body posture" — torso upright, gaze cast downward, arms and legs bent gently out in front.
But there is no convection in the microgravity of the Mir space station.
She will conduct at least one of these classes, demonstrating how objects move in the microgravity environment of space.
However, to work with larger amounts of these materials in the future, they'll need the microgravity of outer space.
In the microgravity group, ICAM-1 expression was enhanced.
But they could not duplicate the microgravity environment of space, aside from brief bits of time spent in steep descent in specially equipped airplanes.
This indicates that one effect of the microgravity environment is the accumulation of auxin in the root meristem.
Moreover, longer integration times would be incompatible with the quality of the microgravity environment achievable in MAQRO.
