PAUL
Powered ascent platform that keeps biological samples alive and recorded from launch until they reach the space station.
Why it matters
Living cells and tissues can die or change during the hours of launch and docking, which can ruin an experiment before it starts. Keeping them powered and monitored protects the science customers pay for.
How the technology works
PAUL is a powered platform that keeps biological samples viable during launch and captures mission data from liftoff through docking. Space Tango describes it as flight-proven.
