First, zero gravity, or"microgravity," provides a very"clean" environment in which to conduct experiments. By removing gravity from the system, we can study a phenomenon in a more"pure" state and thus understand it better.

, where studies of plant growth, crystal growth and physical science phenomena are commonplace. At any one time 300 experiments are taking place on the ISS.
