Microgravity experimentation does not start and end on the International
Space Station. A myriad of facilities in space, flying through the
atmosphere, or on the ground are accessible to scientists from all
over the world. Each one has its own specific differences, so it must
be chosen with great care to satisfy the needs of the experiment and
the experimenter as fully as possible.
The biological sample is placed into dedicated space equipment
(experimental unit or experimental cassette), a mini-bioreactor to
ensure its survival.
For experiments in space, a space system is not merely a space
segment that accommodates the experiment. There is also a ground segment
to control it and to monitor the running of that experiment during
the flight. All of this could only exist following on from the development
