One experiment called InSPACE —an acronym for “Investigating the Structure of Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions "—has engineering implications on Earth. At the heart of this experiment are fluids called magnetorheological suspensions, fluids containing ellipsoid shaped particles that change the physical properties of that fluid in response to magnetic fields."

"Free from the protection offered by the atmosphere, cosmic rays bombard us within Space Station, penetrating the hull almost as if it was not there. They zap everything inside, causing such mischief as locking up our laptop computers and knocking pixels out of whack in our cameras. The computers recover with a reboot; the cameras suffer permanent damage. After about a year, the images they produce look like they are covered with electronic snow. Cosmic rays contribute most of the radiation dose received by Space Station crews. We have defined lifetime limits, after which you fly a desk for the rest of your career. No one has reached that dose level yet."
