Life into Space, 1991—1998 presents an overview of space life sciences missions, payloads, and experiments developed and/or managed by NASA Ames Research Center and NASA Kennedy Space Center. The contents include summaries of missions and payloads, experiment development, mission operations, and science results.
The book also includes interviews covering various aspects of space life sciences research, an update on NASA's relevant international and domestic collaborative efforts, and a chapter on the study of living organisms in space.
Three appendices describe, respectively, the methods and results of over 200 flight experiments, resulting science publications, and associated flight hardware with illustrations. Thorough subject and author indexes are included.
As with Life into Space, 1965—1990, links to relevant appendix content for each payload can be found within the mission profile (grey box appearing at the beginning of each mission section). A link to the introduction for each appendix, explaining its format and content, can be found in the Table of Contents at left.
