For 15 years, the International Space Station has been human spaceflight’s preeminent destination, with crew members conducting science from around the globe and opening doors to new prospects.
The 2005 NASA Authorization Act designated the U.S segment of the ISS as a national laboratory, giving an open invitation to researchers to utilize the unique environment for their work. Since that time, entirely novel businesses have been created and a new economy is growing 250 miles above the surface of our planet. With a new generation of U.S. commercial spacecraft and rockets supplying cargo, and soon astronauts, to the space station, and a wide range of industries already getting tangible benefits from space-based research, human kind’s ventures into outer space are full of opportunity.
This is yet another way the orbiting laboratory is enabling research Off the Earth, For the Earth.
