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.

Aging and putative frailty biomarkers are altered by spaceflight
Human space exploration poses health risks that lead to molecular changes in astronauts, such as genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased inflammation, which are similar to aging-related shifts on Earth. Using murine and astronaut data from NASA’s GeneLab, JAXA, and Inspiration4 missions, researchers assessed biological markers associated with frailty, aging, and sarcopenia in space, revealing gene expression changes that may signal a frailty-like condition in astronauts. These findings suggest that spaceflight-induced changes may mirror those in aging, indicating the potential value of a frailty index for monitoring astronaut health.
