Re: Unique and not so Unique - Experiments onboard the ISS

We have started really discussion on what a white elephant and sink hole the ISS is or has become. That the US should just get out of it to free up the cash for the CEV and beyound efforts.

We know of Plant growth experiments as noted in the Iss Plant growth experiments planning the future in 0g

But here is another experiment that is on going,
plasma crystal experiment

The Russian-American crew of the International Space Station (ISS) begins on Wednesday the final, 12th session of the Plasma Crystal experiment.

I must have been sleeping for the other 11 cycles of this experiment. But this illustrates that not much is ever said for what or which science experiments are being preformed onboard the ISS.
