ISS Research 
What Happens in Microgravity, doesn’t stay in Microgravity
ISS as a US National Lab
“In 2005, Congress designated the U.S. portion of the ISS as the 
nation’s newest national laboratory to maximize its use for improving 
quality of life on Earth, promoting collaboration among diverse users, 
and advancing science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics (STEM) education. This unique laboratory 
environment is now available for use by non-NASA U.S. government 
agencies, academic institutions, and the private sector, providing these 
customers access to a permanent microgravity setting, a powerful 
vantage point in low Earth orbit, and the extreme and varied 
environments of space.”
