SPACE BENEFITS
Results from CSI-05 might help scientists more clearly understand how different organisms are
affected by the microgravity environment. CSI-05 provides a unique educational opportunity to
encourage and inspire students to pursue careers in the scientific and technical fields by
participating in near real-time research activities aboard the ISS.
