BioServe Space Technologies

We are having a busy weekend here, in BioServe’s Payload Operations Control Center. Saturday morning, we operated a remote controlled Keyence microscope, to image cells from the Cancer in Low Earth Orbit (CLEO-3) investigation. Simultaneously, we assisted the crew as they performed a media exchange on muscle cells, in the Life Sciences Glovebox Glovebox, for the Myogenesis investigation. This morning, we are again imaging CLEO-3 and imaging the M4D payload.

Calling all Colorado Middle School Teachers!📣
Excite and engage your students with the wonders of microgravity!🦠🚀🛰️🧑‍🚀

Apply to join the 2024 Microgravity Summer Institute for Middle School Teachers at University of Colorado Boulder.

Selected in-service Colorado middle school teachers will learn about the physical concepts underlying microgravity in simple terms. Teachers will also be trained on hands-on activities that bring microgravity and real research data for the ISS into the classroom! After fully participating, teachers can receive up to a $200 stipend. Travel assistance is also available to those who qualify.

🗓️Date: Wednesday, July 17th
⏰Time: 8am-5pm MDT
🗺️Location: University of Colorado Boulder

Applications for the summer 2024 Microgravity SIMST are now open and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The final day to submit an application is June 28, 2024 at 11:59pm MDT.

Ever struggle with a little mildew on your fridge seal? BioServe-supported researchers have been characterizing the effects of microbial growth on materials commonly used in the production of spacecraft. The last of these Bacterial Adhesion and Corrosion samples are about to return from the ISS!

Bacterial Adhesion and Corrosion uses one of many cell culture systems BioServe has produced and flown over the years.

BioServe is supporting research in the areas of ageing, immunology, fluid dynamics as it relates to lung function and biofilm formation on board the International Space Station (ISS). Scientists from the Pasteur Institute, Sup Biotech, University of California San Francisco, Arizona State University, University of California Santa Barbara and Texas State University are collaborating with BioServe to launch their experiments to the ISS on SpaceX CRS-29 November 9th at 9:16pm EST. Partnerships with NASA, the European Space Agency, the French Space Agency, the ISS National Laboratory and the National Science Foundation have helped make this research possible.
