The wait is almost over! The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine is releasing the Decadal Survey for biological and physical sciences in space on Tuesday. Many thanks to co-chairs Rob Ferl and Krystyn J. Van Vliet, the members of the Committee and its Panels, and the scores of community members that submitted white papers and provided briefings. It will be an exciting decade!

I spy with my little eye … inside that gold and blue container are yeast 🍞, plants 🌱, fungi 🍄and algae … traveling with Orion around the Moon! Why? Outside Earth’s protective orbit, radiation exposure is much different. These organisms will help us start to understand the damage/repair cycle and how to protect our astronauts and our food as we explore the Moon and beyond. Go Orion!

Launch minus 5 days and counting! Four biological pathfinder experiments will be aboard Artemis I when it launches on 8/29: algae, yeast, fungi, and plant seeds. These scientific passengers will help pave the way for fundamental knowledge that will inform how we can thrive in deep space, as we plan for future missions to the Moon and Mars. https://lnkd.in/e74DcXmn

**Research pathfinder opportunity for space biologists** NASA is soliciting proposals for biological research experiments with invertebrates to be conducted on the Artemis II mission. The goal of these projects will be to study early changes in physiological systems due to exposure to the deep space environment. Proposed research must involve only one of the following model organisms: Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) or Caenorhabditis elegans (nematodes). Proposals are due by September 1. https://lnkd.in/d6Mej6RQ

In case you missed last week’s livestream, you can watch the Cold Atom Lab anniversary celebration on You Tube. I enjoyed hearing from many of the people who have helped make this quantum science experiment a huge success—from the team who developed it to the astronauts who installed and maintained it to the investigators that have used it. https://lnkd.in/eS9Bwemz
