Gravity is certainly not necessary in order to do experiments. In fact, there are

some experiments that can ONLY be done in zero gravity ... like for example an

experiment to determine how seeds decide which way to send roots and where

to extend the green shoots when there is no 'up' or 'down', or whether fruit-flies

can maintain their sanity in zero gravity and continue their important mating work.

Four kinds of scientists that work on the International space station?

Astronauts - conduct experiments and maintain the space station. Engineers - design and build equipment for experiments and spacecraft. Biologists - study the effects of space travel on living organisms. Physicists - conduct experiments to understand the fundamental laws of nature in microgravity.


What do the space station carry?

The space station carries astronauts, equipment, supplies, and scientific experiments for research in space. It serves as a laboratory for studying the effects of long-duration space travel on the human body and for conducting experiments in various fields of science.


American space scientists and explores are called?

American space scientists and explorers are often referred to as astronauts. These individuals are trained to travel into space, conduct experiments, and contribute to our understanding of the universe. They play a crucial role in advancing space exploration and technology.


What is the ISS used for?

The International Space Station (ISS) is used for scientific research in microgravity, technology development, testing space systems, and international collaboration in space exploration. It serves as a platform for astronauts from different countries to live and work in space for extended periods while conducting various experiments to advance our understanding of space and improve life on Earth.
