Expedition(s): 25/26
Principal Investigator(s): ● Michael Snyder, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio,
United States
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
NanoRacks-The Ohio State University Zeolite Crystal Growth (NanoRacks-OSU-Zeolite)
processes materials science samples in microgravity. The science goals for NanoRacks-OSU-
Zeolite are proprietary.
EARTH BENEFITS
The long-term goal of this project is to
enhance technological, industrial, and
educational growth for the benefit of
people on Earth.SPACE BENEFITS
This investigation is a part of a series of
investigations to be conducted aboard
the International Space Station (ISS) to
provide the foundation for use of the ISS
as a National Laboratory following
assembly complete.This investigation is complete, and additional results are pending publication.
