2014-02-06 | The Cloud-Aerosol Transport System is scheduled to launch to the space station in Sept. 2014 to help researchers determine what state-of-the-art, three-wavelength laser technology can do from space to measure aerosols in Earth's atmosphere.

2014-02-03 | A rehydration beverage developed by John Greenleaf, physiologist and former researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center, to treat low body water in astronauts is now being used to improve human performance under various conditions on Earth.

2014-02-01 | The announcement by the Obama Administration to support the extension of the orbiting laboratory to at least 2024 gives the station a decade to continue its already fruitful microgravity research mission.

2014-02-01 | Since ancient times we have always had four classes of people because our emotional-intelligence/brain/wisdom education creates four different levels of emotional brains that create these four classes and the gaps between them.
