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.

Metabolic stress in space: ROS-induced mutations in mice hint at a new path to cancer
Space travel beyond Earth’s protective magnetic field exposes astronauts to a range of health risks, including bone loss and vision problems. A recent study on mice living on the International Space Station uncovered a surprising level of genetic mutations. These mutations, primarily caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and the resulting oxidative stress, occur at a much faster rate than previously anticipated. This research suggests that metabolic processes play a significant role in genetic instability, with implications for both the long-term health of astronauts and the understanding of disease development on Earth.

Visualization Tools
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.
