The E. coli AntiMicrobial Satellite(EcAMSat) mission will investigate space microgravity affects on the antibiotic resistance of E. coli, a bacterial pathogen responsible for urinary tract infection in humans and animals. EcAMSat is being developed through a partnership between NASA Ames Research Center and the Stanford University School of Medicine. Scientists believe that the results of this experiment could help design effective countermeasures to protect astronauts health during long duration human space missions.
