Astrium to provide the ISS with new scientific capabilities
Cape Canaveral – The US space shuttle Discovery is set to carry three new research facilities to the International Space Station (ISS) allowing more on board science to take place. The research facilities were built under the industrial leadership of Europe’s largest space company Astrium. The new facilities are the Materials Science Laboratory (MSL), Declic, which will research fluid physics and the second unit of the space freezer Melfi. With the help of this new equipment, scientists will be able to investigate processes which may lead to the development of new alloys, semiconductors and methods.
