Media Webinar Showcases Analysis Launching to the ISS

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER (FL), September 5, 2025 – The subsequent Northrop Grumman business resupply companies (CRS) mission to the International Space Station (ISSInternational Space Station), launched by SpaceX, will carry a various array of analysis, together with a number of investigations sponsored by the ISS National Laboratory®. A pre-launch science webinar for media will probably be held on Wednesday, September 10 at 1 p.m. EDT to spotlight initiatives on this mission.

Projects launching on this mission embody analysis to advance:

• Germicidal biotechnologies
• In-space manufacturing capabilities for more practical therapeutics
• New expertise to take away house particles

Media who wish to take part on this webinar must register for Zoom access no later than one hour prematurely. The webinar will probably be recorded and uploaded to the ISS National Lab YouTube channel upon completion. The public is inspired to submit questions for the analysis groups previous to the webinar by means of the ISS National Lab (@ISS_CASIS) or NASA’s International Space Station (@Space_Station) social handles.

During the webinar, Phillip Irace, science program director for the ISS National Lab, and Liz Warren, affiliate chief scientist for NASA’s ISS Program, will present common insights into the mission and reply questions from registered media. The following panelists will then be part of the webinar to debate their initiatives on this mission.

• Paul Westerhoff, Arizona State University: This venture, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and in collaboration with BioServe Space Technologies, examines how germicidal ultraviolet gentle impacts the formation of biofilms in space-based water techniques. Findings may result in new methods to guard life help techniques and crew members throughout spaceflight and scale back biofilm-related challenges on Earth.
• Robert Garmise, Bristol Myers Squibb: Building on prior investigations launched to the house station, this venture will use Redwire Space’s PIL-BOX facility to crystallize small natural molecules in house to enhance the Earth-based manufacturing of medicines.
• Joel Sercel, TransAstra Corporation and Mike Lewis, Voyager Technologies: This venture will take a look at a brand new system to seize and management house particles leveraging Voyager’s Bishop Airlock. The system may assist clear orbital paths and supply an economical possibility for the end-of-life disposal of satellites.
• Mohammad Kassemi, Case Western University: This NASA-sponsored project will research how gases that don’t condense into liquids may enhance the storage of gas inside tanks in house. This will probably be vital for future deep house missions that require long-term storage of fuels and the switch of fuels in decreased gravity.

NASA’s Northrop Grumman CRS-23 mission is slated to launch no sooner than Sunday, September 14, 2025, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Additional details about investigations launching on this mission will probably be made out there within the coming days on our launch web page.

Join us to listen to extra concerning the thrilling investigations heading to the house station to advance science and profit humanity. To be taught extra about ISS National Lab-sponsored science and the way it advantages life on Earth, go to our web site.

About the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory: The International Space Station (ISS) is a one-of-a-kind laboratory that allows analysis and expertise growth not doable on Earth. As a public service enterprise, the ISS National Laboratory® permits researchers to leverage this multiuser facility to enhance high quality of life on Earth, mature space-based enterprise fashions, advance science literacy sooner or later workforce, and develop a sustainable and scalable market in low Earth orbit(Abbreviation: LEO) The orbit across the Earth that extends as much as an altitude of two,000 km (1,200 miles) from Earth’s floor. The International Space Station’s orbit is in LEO, at an altitude of roughly 250 miles.. Through this orbiting nationwide laboratory, analysis sources on the ISS can be found to help non-NASA science, expertise, and schooling initiatives from U.S. authorities companies, educational establishments, and the non-public sector. The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space® (CASIS®) manages the ISS National Lab, underneath Cooperative AgreementA cooperative settlement is Federal help that establishes a relationship between the U.S. Government and a recipient during which the principal objective of the connection is to perform a public objective of help or stimulation.  Since 2011, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space™ (CASIS™) has managed the National Laboratory® by means of a Cooperative Agreement with NASA. with NASANational Aeronautics and Space Administration, facilitating entry to its everlasting microgravityThe situation of perceived weightlessness created when an object is in free fall, for instance when an object is in orbital movement. Microgravity alters many observable phenomena inside the bodily and life sciences, permitting scientists to review issues in methods not doable on Earth. The International Space Station supplies entry to a persistent microgravity setting. analysis setting, a robust vantage level in low Earth orbit, and the acute and various circumstances of house.
