  • International Space Station: Humanity’s Lab in Space (Narrated by Adam Savage)

    International Space Station: Humanity’s Lab in Space (Narrated by Adam Savage)

    Orbiting more than 200 miles (320 km) above Earth, the International Space Station is a powerhouse of cutting-edge science that is unlocking discoveries not possible on Earth. We’re testing technologies that are critical to our return to the Moon and contributing to medical and social breakthroughs that improve life on our home planet.

    After more than two decades of results, we continue to inspire future generations from a platform that is one of the largest international collaborations of our time.

  • Cold Atom Lab Launching on Board Orbital ATK Mission to Space Station

    Cold Atom Lab Launching on Board Orbital ATK Mission to Space Station

    The new Cold Atom Lab (CAL) facility is among the cargo launching to the International Space Station on the Orbital ATK CRS-9 mission. The Cold Atom Lab could help answer some big questions in modern physics. CAL produces clouds of atoms that are ten billion times colder than deep space. The facility uses lasers and magnetic forces to freeze the atoms until they are almost motionless. In the microgravity environment on the space station, it’s possible to observe these ultra-cold atoms for much longer in than what’s possible on the ground. The research done using CAL could potentially lead to a number of improved technologies, including sensors, quantum computers and atomic clocks used in spacecraft navigation.
