ESO Commercial Microgravity Case Study 1: Novice Commercial Users (Medical) Vivo Biosciences Inc. - A Small Business Perspective

This case study was conducted in FY 2013 by the Emerging Space Office (ESO) to begin characterizing the kinds of opportunities and challenges encountered by small high-tech businesses who have never done RD in space and who serve terrestrial versus space markets, but who have legitimate business reasons for considering space research and development for generating novel or improved products. Vivo Biosciences Inc. (VBI) is an award winning company with a customer base that includes major pharmaceutical companies. However, despite a continuing series of successes, VBI believes that they are about at the limit of the performance their product can achieve on Earth and gravity is the problem. This Case Study documented VBI's experience as the novice company attempted its first steps in the process of conducting research and development in space. The report presents insights applicable to commercial suppliers of microgravity services as well as ISS support of new commercial users, especially small businesses interested in using space for product development.

Space Biosciences Division

In the Space Biosciences Division at NASA's Ames Research Center, we perform the biological research and technology development necessary to tackle the challenges of living in the extreme environments of space and to enable NASA's long-term human exploration mission. This brochure provides a broad overview for our research and development capabilities, several case study examples, and finally real-world applications and collaborative partnerships.

NASA Open Science Data Repository: Maximizing Spaceflight Bioscience Data

The next era in human space exploration is rapidly approaching and will require the use of countermeasures to deep space health hazards. The development of countermeasures (or, the re-purposing of existing agents) will be highly dependent on our understanding of basic biological responses to space stressors (e.g. ionizing radiation, altered gravitational fields, altered day-night cycles, confinement, isolation, hostile-closed environments, distance-duration from Earth, exposure to celestial regolith, etc.). The fast-growing array of space biological data, which in the past was simply archived after minimal analysis, holds great potential if it can be reorganized and formatted for data re-analysis and re-use via Open Science. Organizing the data for such analysis is a challenge because of its diverse nature (molecular, cellular, tissue, imaging, whole organism and behavior). To address the challenges posed by gaining new knowledge from a vast and diverse amount of biological, health and environmental data in space, the NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR - osdr.nasa.gov/bio) plays a crucial role in curating and openly publishing biological data from space-related experiments. Its design incorporates successes and lessons from NASA GeneLab, encompassing not only high-throughput sequencing data but also physiological, phenotypic, and telemetry data. The OSDR makes space biological data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable), and facilitates effective data ingestion, dissemination, and Open Science collaborations. The OSDR also has the capability to integrate human astronaut data with state-of-the-art security and accessibility procedures. We will discuss here several strategies that NASA’s Biological and Physical Science Division have put in place to maximize the return on investment for spaceflight bioscience data.
