International Space Station Scientific Value

Analyzing ISS scientific impacts is an exceptional challenge because of the unique microgravity
environment of the ISS laboratory, the multidisciplinary and international nature of the research,
and the significance of the investment in its development. As a result, the ISS Program uses different
methods to describe the impacts of ISS research activities. All ISS results publications across the ISS
international partnership are continuously updated and posted at http://www.nasa.gov/stationresults.
