Biological and Physical Sciences Decadal Linkages
Adapting to Space:
- KSQ #1: How does the space environment influence biological mechanisms required for organisms to survive the transitions to and from space, and thrive while off Earth?
- KSQ #3: How does the space environment alter interactions between organisms?
Living and Traveling in Space
- KSQ #1: What are the important multi-generational effects of the space environment on growth, development, and reproduction?
Probing Phenomena Hidden by Gravity or Terrestrial Limitations
- KSQ #1: What are the mechanisms by which organisms sense and respond to physical properties of surroundings, and to applied mechanical forces including gravitational force?
SpinSat can directly address the #1 science question in each of the three themes
