The main biological processes presently considered for applications in space laboratories are: (i) bioseparation, (ii) cell cultivation and (iii) cell electrofusion. All three technologies were discussed by experts in the field at the 1988-COSPAR Meeting in Helsinki.
The Mir-1 and International Space Station Alpha capabilities present the science community with unique long duration platforms to conduct a wide range of scientific research in the microgravity and life sciences as well as in the observational sciences, NASA is developing plans to use the capabilities of Mir and Space Station as they emerge during the development of the orbital program. In both cases the planned science utilization programs take advantage of the volume, crew, power, microgravity and logistics resupply unique to each phase. The paper will present these utilization plans in the context of an evolving scientific program.
