DESCRIPTION
COM
 Provides communications support between astronauts and mission control and makes announcements
SAT
(Satellite)
 Builds and tests a remotely operated satellite to study Earth, installing critical equipment and
components and retrieving data
 Monitors the Earth observation network of satellites
BIO
(Biosphere)
 Studies the impact of Earth’s vegetation and photosynthesis on carbon dioxide levels and climate change
 Observes population parameters and their environmental effects
 Monitors biological contamination
ATMO
(Atmosphere)
 Examines greenhouse gases, and global temperature
 Studies precipitation and cloud cover and atmospheric aerosols
 Monitors air quality on the space station
GEO
(Geosphere)
 Observes ways in which land use, biomass burning and volcanic eruptions affect the carbon cycle and
the greenhouse effect
 Monitors the carbon levels in the Space Station life support system
OCEAN
 Researches how changes in temperature and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect biological and
physical properties of the ocean
 Monitors the plant chamber temperature levels
 Examines sun spot activity, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections and their effects on Earth
 Handles preparations for any solar flare or space debris emergencies and determines their location,
severity and effects
SPACE
WEATHER
CRYO
(Cryosphere)
ENERGY
 Examines Earth’s polar regions: snow and ice cover in the Northern Hemisphere, reflected sunlight, and
temperature
 Monitors the water supply and water recovery system in space
 Study solar power, incoming and outgoing radiation from the Sun, and how solar radiation affects
climate change
