[00:00:00]The Odyssey research investigation evaluates how well Earth-based microgravity simulators recreate space conditions. Researchers will examine bacterial behavior in space and compare the results to experiments conducted in microgravity simulators on Earth.

[00:00:15]Another investigation we're looking forward to learning more about is story.

[00:00:19]The story behind story is an instrument that monitors charged particles in orbit around the Earth. These particles respond to space weather and can impact human assets like power grids and satellites. Story could help researchers gain knowledge to better predict and respond to these changes.

[00:00:35]Laplace studies the mo- movement and collision of dust particles in microgravity to understand particle motion in space and other atmospheres.

[00:00:43]Researchers hope to learn more about Earth's origins and provide fundamental understanding of how these planets in our solar system came to be in existence.
