Microgravity Science Glovebox

A Microgravity Science Glovebox is a sealed laboratory workspace on the International Space Station that allows scientists to conduct experiments in a controlled environment, despite the zero-gravity conditions. It features built-in gloves enabling researchers to handle and manipulate samples safely without exposing them or contaminating the environment. This setup is crucial for studying processes like fluid dynamics or biological reactions that are affected by Earth's gravity, providing insights that are impossible to obtain on the ground. Essentially, it’s a specialized laboratory that offers scientists a safe, stable space to perform detailed scientific investigations in space.
