Explore the diverse ecosystem ofexperimentsbeing researched on the International Space Station –bothcompleted and ongoing. Investigate the results and benefits ofmanyof the experiments and find out why performing research inamicrogravity environment is so important. The SpaceStationResearch Explorer provides current information on ISSexperiments,facilities and research results through video, photos,interactivemedia, and in-depth descriptions.The Experiments section provides access to the six mainexperimentcategories and their subcategories. Experiments aredepicted asdots within the category system and the stems connectingthe dotsto the system depict the length of time the experimentspent onorbit. Users can drill down to see specific experimentswithin thecategories and subcategories or search for a specificexperiment orsubject using the search option. Experimentdescriptions consist oflinks, images, and publications ifavailable. The Experimentssection can be further narrowed byselecting a specific expeditionand sponsor by using the dials atthe top right of the screenThe Facilities section provides an interior view of three ofthestation modules; Columbus, Kibo, and Destiny, and an exteriorviewof seven external facilities; ELC1-4, Columbus-EPF, JEM-EF andAMS.The module interiors can be navigated by dragging up and downtosee different sides of the module and left and right to viewanyracks not shown on the screen. Tapping a rack gives abriefdescription of the rack and an experiment description ifavailable.For the external facilities, the platform is shown andcan berotated and zoomed.
