A disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DIS-troe-fee) affects about 1 in 3,500 boys. It causes muscles to waste away. In microgravity, crystals grow bigger and more regularly shaped. This lets researchers get a better look at protein crystals involved in this disease. They have identified a substance in the protein that they couldn’t find on Earth. This is helping scientists develop better treatments.

Success story

Astronaut Karen Nyberg works with a microgravity experiment on the ISS.

Space radiation, temperature differences and other conditions in outer space can destroy materials. Experiments mounted on the outside of the ISS are helping scientists figure out which materials last longest in space. One of the samples from ISS experiments survived so well that it was used to create a coating for Curiosity, the rover now exploring Mars.

On Earth, flames form a teardrop shape (left). In microgravity, flames grow into a rounder shape.

Everything we know — all biological, chemical and physical processes — developed in the gravity on Earth. When we take away Earth’s gravity, things act differently. For example, crystals grow larger, flames are rounder, and plant roots not only grow down, but out toward food. The ISS allows us to study how things change in microgravity. This helps us learn why things act the way they do on Earth. In microgravity, things don’t always act the way scientists expect.
