The 'Nose' Knows
The ENose experiment aboard the International Space Station. Credit: NASA Some might say it's as plain as the nose on your face. But detecting toxic or dangerous chemicals in the microgravity environment of space takes a little extra "sniffing." That’s why ENose, or Electronic Nose, spent 10 months on the International Space Station testing whether the technology was useful to detect possible hazardous vapors. ENose returned to Earth from the space station on space shuttle mission STS-128 in September 2009, and early results have proven surprising to investigators.
