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.

Spatiotemporal expression and control of haemoglobin in space
Space travel activates many genes, including those related to blood and hemoglobin production. This study used data from the NASA Open Science Data Repository, including samples from the NASA Twins Study, JAXA CFE study, and Inspiration4 mission, to explore how hemoglobin genes change over time and in different space conditions. The findings show how space affects blood gene activity, offering insights for future space research.
