Space Station Live: A Look at the New Science Lineup

NASA Commentator Pat Ryan talks with Yuri Guinart-Ramirez, the lead increment scientist for the International Space Station’s Expeditions 47 and 48, about some of the new experiments and science planned over the coming few months. That includes continuing research on the human crew members to find out how their bodies are impacted by being in weightlessness, plus new experiments, including: one that uses mice to gauge how the space environment may impact gene expression for those subjects and for their offspring, and one that will culture heart muscle cells grown from human skin cells to understand the negative effects of weightlessness at the cellular and molecular level.
