NASA Spaceline Current Awareness List #728 16 December 2016 (Space Life Science Research Results)

By SpaceRef Editor

December 16, 2016

Filed under ISS, Spaceline, Spaceline Current Awareness, US

SpaceRef Editor’s note: NASA’s various life sciences programs have prepared the SPACELINE Current Awareness updates since 1999 covering all aspects of space life science, gravitational biology, space medicine, and human factors. NASA does not maintain a website – nor does it have an archive of this resource online. However, SpaceRef does have a complete archive of SPACELINE updates all the way back to 1999 that can be accessed here: http://www.spaceref.com/news/mission.html?mid=188&pag

SPACELINE Current Awareness Lists are now distributed via listserv. Please send any correspondence to Robyn Ertwine, SPACELINE Current Awareness Senior Editor, rertwine@nasaprs.com.
