This paper will provide an up to date summary of key investigations, facilities, publications, and benefits from ISS research that have developed over the past year. The ISS provides a unique environment for research, international collaboration and educational activities that benefit humankind. More than 1500 investigations have been conducted on the ISS since the first module launched in 1998, with over 700 scientific publications.
NON ECONOMIX BENEFITS OF BEING AN ASTRONAUTICAL ENGINEER FULL
Well into the second year of full utilization of the ISS laboratory, the trend of scientific accomplishments and educational opportunities continues to grow. Throughout the history of the International Space Station (ISS), crews on board have conducted a variety of scientific research and educational activities. In summarizing these benefits and accomplishments, ISS partners are also identifying ways to further extend the benefits to people in developing countries for the benefits of humankind.
To date over 63 countries have directly participated in some aspect of ISS research or education. The ISS participates in a number of educational activities aimed to inspire students of all ages to learn about science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Earth observations from the ISS provide a wide range of observations that include: marine vessel tracking, disaster monitoring and climate change. Benefits to human health range from advancements in surgical technology, improved telemedicine, and new treatments for disease. Other themes are growing as use of the ISS continues.
Three major themes of benefits to life on earth emerged from our review: benefits to human health, education, and Earth observation and disaster response. Working across all ISS partners, we identified key themes where the activities on the ISS improve the lives of people on Earth - not only within the partner nations, but also in other nations of the world. Benefits can be of three different types: scientific discovery, applications to life on Earth, and applications to future exploration. Benefits come from the engineering development, the international partnership, and from the research results. The ISS laboratory is providing a unique environment for research and international collaboration that benefits humankind. The ISS partnership has seen a substantial increase in research accomplished, crew efforts devoted to research, and results of ongoing research and technology development.
