The International Space Station Research and Development
Conference is hosted by the Center for the Advancement of Science
in Space and the American Astronautical Society, in cooperation
with NASA, and brings together leaders from industry, academia, and
government.
With more than 23 years of continuously crewed operations, the
space station is a unique scientific platform where crew members
conduct experiments across multiple disciplines of research,
including Earth and space science, biology, human physiology,
physical sciences, and technology demonstrations not possible on
Earth. Crews living aboard the station have executed more than
3,300 experiments in microgravity for thousands of researchers on
Earth. The space station also supports space commerce, from
commercial crew and cargo partnerships to commercial research and
national lab research. Data collected from these activities helps
set standards for future commercial stations.
