Examples of experiments supported by BIOTESC
CIMON is an intelligent robot designed to assist astronauts on the International Space Station ISS in carrying out their tasks. It is accompanied by the BIOTESC control room of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
Satellites use certain radio channels. The number of these channels is limited. MarconISSta has measured a strain on the radio channels used internationally by satellites.
During the Horizons mission in 2018, BIOTESC supported ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst during the filming for children and young people.
New videos explaining life on the ISS to children appear regularly on the ESA Kids page. BIOTESC plans to include them in the astronaut programme.
Gemeinsam mit dem deutschen ESA-Astronauten, Alexander Gerst, warn Wildblumensamen an Bord der ISS. Schüler dürfen nun die Pflanzensamen auf der Erde einpflanzen und beobachten, wie sie wachsen.
In the experiment Rotifer B, scientists from Belgium are investigating how the metabolism of the rotifers works under extreme conditions and what influence radiation and weightlessness have on DNA repair. With the support of BIOTESC, Luca Parmitano has installed them in the Kubik.
Microorganisms can convert insoluble ore minerals into water-soluble salts and thus mow them in an accessible way. The Biorock project has investigated whether these processes also function in weightlessness. Three different species of bacteria were cultivated on basalt platelets on the ISS. Back on Earth, the British team examined them.

1. Molecular Muscle
2. Arthrospira
3. Endothelial Cells The Endothelial Cells experiment investigated the influence of weightlessness and cosmic radiation on capillary endothelial cells.
4. Triplelux The Triplelux experiments are about exploring the effects of weightlessness on the immune system.
5. T-cell Act in Aging The experiment investigates the reasons for decreased activation of T cells in space.
6. Stem Cell Differentation The aim of the experiment was to determine how weightlessness influences the processes in stem cells regarding the maintenance of bone mass.
7. Spheroids In simulated weightlessness (cultivated on the Random Positioning Machine) endothelial cells form 3-dimensional aggregates (spheres). The experiment investigated the effects of real weightlessness and the selected messenger substances on changes in the endothelial cells.
