Open Science Data Repository
The NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR) enables access to space-related data from experiments and missions that investigate biological and health responses of terrestrial life to spaceflight. The goal of OSDR is to enable multi-modal and multi-hierarchical fundamental space life science data be reused toward basic science, applied science, and operational outcomes for space exploration and knowledge discovery. These data include ‘omics, phenotypic, physiological, behavioral, hardware, environmental telemetry; raw, processed; tabular, text, code, bioimaging, and video.

Visualization Tools

Data Visualization
GeneLab’s latest software release includes a new visualization portal to interact with gene expression data from space-related omics experiments. The enhanced portal includes a new search interface, new plots and layout, and advanced settings to customize the plots.

RadLab
RadLab is a portal that aims to provide a single point of access to radiation telemetry data from multiple databases maintained by multiple space agencies.

Environmental Data App (EDA)
The Environmental Data App (EDA) is a portal where users can visualize and compare ISS (International Space Station) cabin environmental telemetry data and radiation data gathered from spaceflight missions.
Testimonials
Paola Castaño, University of Exeter
“The NASA Open Science Data Repository could have remained as a data archive, but has become a crucial living core of the space biology research program. The Analysis Working Groups are expanding the space biology community bringing new researchers into the field and expanding the realms of expertise relevant for space biology”.
