Research performed in space involves all areas of scientific and technical inquiry. Those areas range from astronomy—like, how does a black hole form?—to zeolites—how do we create better chemical reaction catalysts? As many missions are planned to answer questions that affect our daily lives here on Earth as are planned to answer questions about the rest of the Universe. ---- ...

All materials used in confined spaces like the NASA Space Shuttle or the ISS or even Navy submarines must undergo thorough scrutiny for safety through special off-gassing testing at the White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) Molecular Desorption and Analysis Laboratory (MDAL) in New Mexico. Once standard materials are subjected to use in confined air spaces, the indoor quality of air can degrade if ...
