The International Space Station is utilizing new automated devices to increase the efficiency of scientific experiments conducted in orbit. These ‘ADvanced Space Experiment Processors’ (ADSEPs) are designed to reduce the amount of astronaut time required for research, allowing for more science to be completed.
The International Space Station currently hosts hundreds of simultaneous science experiments. Many of these experiments can take hours to perform, and require valuable time from the astronauts onboard. To address this challenge, NASA has developed fully automated devices, such as Redwire’s ADvanced Space Experiment Processors (ADSEPs).
According to NASA, ADSEPs are designed to “conduct more space science with less crew time.” Within each ADSEP facility there […]. These mini-laboratories allow researchers to maximize the scientific output of the orbiting laboratory by minimizing the demand on astronaut schedules.
We don't rate truth. We strip the spin and show you which perspectives covered the story. You decide.
