DEFINITION:
It includes:
- Instruments in support of Life and Physical Sciences: covering:
- Instruments and technologies to study aspects of human physiology, biology, biotechnology, exobiology/planetary exploration and solve specific problems of planetary exploration, planetary protection and human long term presence in space.
- Instruments and technologies to study aspects of fluid science, material science, crystal growth, applied physics, planetary exploration and solve problems of specific application of material science technology to use in-situ resources for extra-terrestrial production of components
(e.g. heat and radiation shields, etc.)
- Human Health, Life Support and Habitation
- Human Exploration Destination
