Research areas

There are a diverse range of research areas that can benefit from the use of orbital facilities.

These include:

• Cloud Modelling studies and its use in weather forecasting
• Dusty Plasmas and some of their applications
• Microencapsulation of drugs and other compounds
• Muscle and Bone physiology and the effects of microgravity
• Plant Gravitropism and its signalling pathways
• Monitoring the biological effects of radiation
