Both were developed at NASA Glenn with prime contractor ZIN Technologies and are operated remotely from Glenn\u2019s ISS Payloads Operation Center. The FCF supports physical and biological experiments to advance technology development while bringing many benefits back to Earth. \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\nFor more information about the exhibit, visit: https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers-and-facilities\/glenn\/new-nasa-glenn-exhibit-spotlights-microgravity-research\/<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nExplore More<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
