Naval Research Lab Space Station Study Reveals Key Challenges and Opportunities for Microbial Biomanufacturing in Space
January 26, 2026 — Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have completed a spaceflight biology investigation aboard the International Space Station (ISS) that reveals how microgravity fundamentally alters microbial metabolism, limiting the efficiency of biological manufacturing processes critical to future long-duration space missions. The findings were recently published in the journal npj Microgravity... MORE
