Translational Cell and Animal Research (TCAR). For nearly 50 years, the NASA Space Biology Program has funded, and Ames Research Center (ARC) has managed, a robust program of fundamental research including studies using a wide range of animal cells, tissues and organisms. Much of this research was conducted on spacecraft in microgravity environments including diverse platforms such as: Gemini Spacecraft, US Biosatellites, Apollo Command Modules, Skylabs, Russian Biosatellites, NASA Space Shuttles, NASA/Mir, and most recently, the International Space Station (ISS). During the Space Shuttle Era (1981–2011), the science of space biology took an enormous step forward with 45 missions that afforded researchers with new opportunities to conduct systematic and complex experiments aimed at a deeper understanding of how life adapts to the space environment. Beginning in the 1990s, the products of these experiments, comprised of research summaries and rare, unused biospecimens, were collected and catalogued within the ARC Life Sciences Data Archiving Office, a branch of NASA’s Life Sciences Data Archive (LSDA) managed from the NASA Johnson Spaceflight Center.
