Using and distributing spaceflight data: the johnson space center life sciences data archive

摘要

Opportunities to study physiology in space are limited, which makes the data collected before, during and after spaceflight particularly valuable. Published reports focus on major findings and often provide only summarized results. Analyses across experiments and disciplines can be difficult to perform. The Johnson Space Center Life Sciences Data Archive has been designed to provide researchers, engineers, managers and educators interactive access to information about and data from human spaceflight experiments. Currently, the Johnson Space Center Life Sciences Data Archive is using information from one mission-the Spacelab Life Sciences 1 flight-to-create a prototype archive. The Spacelab Life Sciences 1 (SLS-1) flight was devoted to biomedical research and investigated different aspects of physiology on the same group of people.
