Today: Cube Satellite (CubeSat) Operations: Overnight the final 7 CubeSats were successfully launched by JAXA Robotic Flight Controllers from two NanoRacks CubeSat Deployers (NRCSDs). Two Dove CubeSats and ArduSat-2, LitSat-1, LituanicaSat-1, UaPSat-1, and SkyCube CubeSats were launched.
Cancer Targeted Treatments from Space Station Discoveries
Invasive and systemic cancer treatment is a necessary evil for many people with the devastating diagnosis.
Tackling Tumors With Space Station Research
In space, things don't always behave the way we expect them to. In the case of cancer, researchers have found that this is a good thing: some tumors seem to be much less aggressive in the microgravity environment of space compared to their behavior on Earth.
NASA ISS Space to Ground Weekly Report - 28 February 2014
