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.

Light has a principal role in the physiological adaptation of plants to the spaceflight environment
The Characterizing Arabidopsis Root Attractions (CARA) spaceflight experiment provides comparative transcriptome analyses of plants grown in both light and dark conditions within the same spaceflight. Arabidopsis genotypes were compared in ambient light and in the dark on board the International Space Station (ISS). This study reviews a complex interaction between light as a signal, and light-signaling genes in acclimation to spaceflight.

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.
Testimonials
Miguel Vargas Cruz, Grupo Alianza Empresarial
“I found the information OSDR provides extremely interesting, as it would otherwise be very complex to obtain… it helps me conduct tests on the behavior of quantum computing using such data, and I also saw an extraordinary opportunity to contribute through the AWG Multi-Omics community.”
