Rhodium Crystal Preservation-02
- More than a dozen payloads representing diverse research areas will launch to the International Space Station (ISS) onboard Northrop Grumman’s 20th Commercial Resupply Services mission contracted by NASA. The launch is planned for no earlier than January 29, 2024.
- This investigation aims to use crystal growth in microgravity to advance a novel technique to preserve biological material. Conducting research in remote environments like the space station can make it difficult to get samples back to a ground lab for analysis due to constrained resources like access to cold stowage. Building on previous research, this project aims to advance a method that uses a crystal matrix to preserve biologicals material so they can remain stable at room temperature for long periods of time. This would circumvent the need for cold stowage, which would make the return of samples much easier. Results from this investigation could establish a reproducible, predictable method for future use of this novel preservation technique for biological materials.
