NASA Resources

Open Science Dataset, OSD-379: This resource consists of data from Rodent Research Reference Mission-1 (RRRM-1). In RRRM-1, mice flew on the International Space Station for 22-40 days. Changes in the livers of these mice were compared to similar mice that remained on Earth. The dataset includes a description of the mission and rich metadata for each mouse and sample.

Open Science Dataset, OSD-665: This resource consists of data from the Rodent Research-23 (RR-23) mission. In RR-23, mice flew on the International Space Station for 38 days. Changes in leg muscle (extensor digitorum longus) of these mice were compared to similar mice that remained on Earth. The dataset includes a description of the mission and rich metadata for each mouse and sample.

NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR): This is the main Open Science Data Repository. It contains hundreds of biological spaceflight datasets, including additional datasets from RR-23 and RRRM-1. Teams can use this resource to find additional examples of datasets to visualize or to build additional functionality into their visualization tools by linking datasets to OSD-379 and OSD-665.

Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) Explainers: A variety of explainers (i.e., explanatory guides) that help to contextualize Biological and Physical Science (BPS) research.

Exploring the Effects of Spaceflight on Mouse Physiology Using the Open Access NASA GeneLab Platform: This resource provides an overview of how a typical mouse experiment is conducted in space and how data from such experiments can be accessed and analyzed.
