The International Space Station is a unique, orbiting laboratory with many parts. In the latest STEMonstration, astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli takes students on a tour of the space station and compares its parts to the major organelles of a cell. Follow along to explore the parallels between cellular functions and the operations of the space station. Learn how research on cells in microgravity help us better understand the human body and solve biomedical problems that occur on Earth and in space. In the corresponding Classroom connection, students learn more about the space station and explore the functions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell organelles.
