Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS)

The Centers for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) is a nonprofit organization that manages the U.S. National Laboratory aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Its main role is to facilitate scientific research and technological development by providing resources, support, and coordination for researchers and companies. By enabling experiments in microgravity, CASIS helps advance understanding in fields like medicine, biology, and materials science, ultimately translating space-based discoveries into benefits for life on Earth. It acts as a bridge between scientists and the unique environment of the ISS to foster innovation and progress.
