AGENDA DAY 2
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION: CATALYST FOR THE FUTURE In addition to being one of humankind’s greatest accomplishments, the International Space Station is an idea—a catalyst for the future, enabling the visions of nations, scientists, explorers, industrialists and entrepreneurs. This panel offers perspectives on the role of the ISS in realizing these visions, discussing such issues as:
The nature of international and commercial relationships established throughout the ISS program
The role of the ISS as a “first step” away from our home planet on the path of human exploration
Opportunities unleashed by the presence of a National Lab onboard the ISS
SPEAKERS:

BIOMEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS FROM SPACE-BASED PROTEIN CRYSTAL GROWTH Elucidating protein structures promises to unravel complexities of human health and advance pharmaceutical development. Some proteins, however, have been difficult to crystallize in sufficient quality or quantity on Earth to permit structure determination. The benefits of microgravity for protein crystal growth offer a solution to these obstacles—the growth of larger, more well-ordered crystals. This session will highlight experiments that exploit the space environment for improved crystal growth—toward the improved understanding of human disease and the acceleration of structure-based drug design.

VIEWPOINTS: LEVERAGING ISS TO ENABLE LEO COMMERCIALIZATION NASA and its International Space Station partners currently represent the primary suppliers as well as consumers of services in Low Earth Orbit. However, NASA has a larger vision of sustained economic activity in LEO enabled by human spaceflight. Join the 4th Annual ISS R&D Conference for a conversation with a spectrum of the space industry’s established and emerging players, as we discuss how best to leverage the ISS to enable a robust commercialization of LEO leading to sustainable economic activity before the ISS end of life.

STEM CELL RESEARCH: IMPACT ON THERAPEUTICS Stem cell biology has the potential to transform broad fields from discovery science to regenerative medicine. The application of stem cells for drug screening, patient-specific disease modeling, and tissue-specific repair is dependent on a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that regulate stem cell growth and differentiation. Currently, an incomplete
understanding of fundamental stem cell biology limits our ability to reliably differentiate stem cells into specific types of mature cells with high yield and purity. A promising approach to filling these knowledge gaps is to study stem cells in microgravity. Experiments in true microgravity onboard the International Space Station promise to produce even more robust results than the compelling preliminary findings from experiments on Earth conducted primarily in simulated microgravity. This panel will discuss recent findings from both environments.

COMMERCIAL REMOTE SENSING FROM THE ISS As commercial remote sensing becomes more viable and ISS becomes a more capable sensor host, CASIS, through its Good Earth Campaign, will seek opportunities for commercial, academic and government entities to evaluate remote sensing technologies with commercial or humanitarian benefit. This technical session provides an interactive forum for those interested in applying or improving ISS as a remote sensing platform. Participants will have the opportunity to share inquiries and information with five companies who currently manage or plan to develop remote sensing capabilities and infrastructure onboard the ISS.
GOOD HEALTH: THE IMPACT OF SPACE SCIENCE ON PRECISION MEDICINE We are entering the era of precision medicine, as researchers and scientists levy new resources and collaborate to accelerate progress towards improving human health globally. CASIS and NASA are embarking on a new endeavor to improve human wellness: Campaign Good Health. Together, we are maximizing the research capabilities of the ISS National Laboratory to gain greater insight into human diseases using human and animal model studies in space. Leaders from across industry and academia will provide an overview of the campaign, outline research and technology development initiatives, and discuss how data shared in precision medicine is accelerating groundbreaking disease research and addressing global health challenges on Earth.

CAN HUMANS SURVIVE 1,000 DAYS IN SPACE? THE IMPACT OF ISS ONE YEAR MISSIONS NASA has set a “horizon goal” of enabling the sustained presence of humans on Mars by the 2030s. Among the most compelling questions is, Can humans survive 1,000 days in space? Currently the ISS hosts a growing multi-faceted collection of exploration-based research focused on answering this key question. In addition, human activity onboard the International Space Station is teaching us about habitation, life support, and crew training and interaction during long-duration missions. This panel will explore many of the research areas addressing the 1,000 Days question.
