The team prepares
A small Kentucky startup just installed an autonomous space laboratory at the International Space Station. The lab, which allows up to 21 individual experiments to run at once, can be used to look at the effects of Micro-gravity on things like cancer and biological functions--a field dubbed "exomedicine."
