A biomedical testing module served as the home for mice in microgravity and contributed to the development of drugs to fight osteoporosis.
This biomedical testing module, developed at Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, serves as a home away from home for mice traveling to space. Previous experiments aboard space shuttles contributed to the development of new drugs now fighting osteoporosis on Earth.
