Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI) System data repository- International Space Station (ISS)

The International Space Station (ISS) is an orbiting laboratory that provides an ideal facility to conduct long-duration experiments in reduced gravity and allows continuous and interactive research similar to Earth-based laboratories. This enables scientists to pursue innovations and discoveries not currently achievable by other means.

NASA’s Physical Sciences Research Program also benefits from collaborations with several of the ISS International Partners—Europe, Russia, Japan, and Canada—foreign governments with space programs, such as France, Germany, and Italy.
