Conducting Autonomous Experiments in Space

A device for conducting scientific experiments in space has a housing having dimensions of about 100 x 100 x 150 mm or smaller. Within the housing is an electronic processor, a camera, and a chamber for containing living or non-living test subjects. A mirror is positioned next to the chamber so that the camera lens can view both a face of the chamber, and the mirror, which reflects a side of the chamber. The chamber can additionally include sensors and a fan controlled by the processor to change conditions within the housing based upon sensor data.

Flight-Tested Hardware Options Currently Available to Support Fruit Fly Science Missions on ISS

The Fruit Fly Lab team at Ames Research Center has developed and flown several versions of hardware to ISS that have been utilized to conduct research using the model organism, Drosophila melanogaster. These sets of hardware vary in complexity and capabilities and can be matched to experiments based on specific aims objectives and considerations for cost, updownmass, and crew time requirements. The team has multiple investigators slated to utilize this hardware on near-term missions to ISS, and is expecting more from future calls for proposals.
