NASA launched Space Station Research Xplorer (SSRX), an application designed to provide the results of scientific investigations and technology demonstrations on the International Space Station (ISS).

Through this application, science enthusiasts can find out various activities on the ISS, ongoing missions or experiments, benefits from various research works, to special facilities at stations. All available information can be accessed for free.

To make it easier for students and science enthusiasts to learn, NASA includes a summary of each investigative result. The space agency also added other learning materials such as interactive media, photos, videos, and additional reference links.

If users of the Space Station Research Xplorer (SSRX) application open the experimental page, they can access six research fields. There are Biology and Biotechnology, Earth Science and Space, Physics, Human Research, and more.

Meanwhile, there are several parts that can be accessed, such as Facilities to find out research and information about institutions and the benefits of knowing the impact of research on the progress of space exploration and humans on Earth.

In addition, there is LabTour to view the Columbus, Kibo, and Destiny station modules and learn information from the experimental description. Users of the Space Station Research Xplorer (SSRX) app can also access the Link section to view information sharing outside the app.

NASA promises an application update every month so users can keep up with the latest scientific developments. The Space Station Research Xplorer (SSRX) app can be downloaded on the App Store or Google Play Store using iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
