Abstract

Biomanufacturing and In-Space Production Applications on the ISS National Lab

Michael Roberts, Deputy Chief Scientist, International Space Station National Lab

NASA and the ISS National Laboratory are enabling the commercial development of low-Earth orbit by sponsoring both fundamental research and the in-space manufacturing of advanced materials and biological products that improve life on Earth. As the International Space Station continues to offer access to the unique benefits of a microgravity laboratory, producing breakthrough research as well as new and improved products and technologies, it is also pioneering the path forward for the transition to commercially LEO platforms.
