NASA has released video footage of the first NanoRacks Platform and CubeLabs being located into ExPRESS Rack 4 in the Japanese Experiment Module ON-BOARD the International Space Station.
Each of NanoRacks’ inserts is approximately 17 x 9 x 20 inches and weighs approximately 12 lbs. “We seek to significantly lower the bar for those wanting to conduct nano-scale research and technology demonstrations in space,” explained Managing Director Jeffrey Manber.
“By using a standardized form factor and a ‘plug and play’ system, we can quickly integrate with NASA’s standard interfaces at the rack level and further reduce costs in order to attract new users to the space station”.
