The Space Life & Physical Sciences Research & Applications Division Task Book is an online database of research projects supported by the Space Biology, Physical Sciences, and Human Research Program research areas within the Space Life & Physical Sciences Research & Applications (SLPSRA) Division of NASA's Human Exploration and Operations (HEO) Mission Directorate. Research projects within the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) are also covered, beginning with FY2017 projects. Research projects within the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI), all completed by May 2017, are also included. Information includes project descriptions, annual research results, research impacts, and a listing of publications resulting from this NASA-funded research.

This project is part of the integrated 1-year mission project in which 10 astronauts will be observed before, during, and after 1-year ISS missions. The project will deliver a highly unique and comprehensive set of integrated neuroimaging and neurocognitive tools for the evaluation and ultimately pr... Courtesy image submitted to Task Book.

This project aims to study and predict the microscale patterns that develop in solidification of pure and alloy systems in microgravity, and investigate and compare the effect of solid-liquid interface anisotropy in microgravity and terrestrial conditions. A multiscale computational framework integr...
