NASA's Life Science Services Contract (LSSC) supports nearly all life sciences experiments, regardless of national origin, that have been launched into
low-Earth orbit from Kennedy Space Center, including more than 80 scientific missions and more than 150 life science experiments. LSSC resident
scientists have designed and managed several groundbreaking biology experiments aboard the Space Shuttles and the International Space Station. We are
also investigating the feasibility of growing plants on Mars, developing advanced bioregenerative life support systems for long-duration
space travel, studying microbial contamination issues related to planetary exploration, and operating numerous NASA analytical laboratories. LSSC also
coordinates NASA's Occupational Health Program across all Centers to address radiological, biological, chemical, and ergonomic hazards.
LSSC has developed and demonstrated new technologies having life science applications, including sensors,
low-energy lighting systems, waste treatment systems, and advanced hydroponic systems.
