Open Science Data Repository
The NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR) enables access to space-related data from experiments and missions that investigate biological and health responses of terrestrial life to spaceflight. The goal of OSDR is to enable multi-modal and multi-hierarchical fundamental space life science data be reused toward basic science, applied science, and operational outcomes for space exploration and knowledge discovery. These data include ‘omics, phenotypic, physiological, behavioral, hardware, environmental telemetry; raw, processed; tabular, text, code, bioimaging, and video.

Space radiation damage rescued by inhibition of key spaceflight associated miRNAs
Human space exploration poses serious health risks, such as bone and muscle loss, increased cancer risk, and cognitive problems due to space radiation, altered gravity, and isolation. Researchers found that certain microRNAs, which regulate cellular processes and are linked to human diseases, change in response to space exposure. Targeting these altered microRNAs in 3D cell cultures helped prevent damage to blood vessels, showing potential for protecting astronauts from space-related health issues.

Data Visualization
GeneLab’s latest software release includes a new visualization portal to interact with gene expression data from space-related omics experiments. The enhanced portal includes a new search interface, new plots and layout, and advanced settings to customize the plots.
RadLab
RadLab is a portal that aims to provide a single point of access to radiation telemetry data from multiple databases maintained by multiple space agencies.
Environmental Data App (EDA)
The Environmental Data App (EDA) is a portal where users can visualize and compare ISS (International Space Station) cabin environmental telemetry data and radiation data gathered from spaceflight missions.
