The ISS Science Processing Areas (SPAs), aka Offline Labs, can be configured on a mission to mission basis. They provide a broad range of capabilities for principal investigators to prepare approved science experiments and associated flight hardware for flight. The capability also exists to monitor and control test activities, both on the ground via the Experiment Monitoring Area (EMA) and aboard ISS. There are three central services rooms providing autoclave, dishwashing, ice, and various standard services. A walk-in cold room is available in 1296 and 1489B. All spaces are certified to > 300k cleanliness. Designed for maximum flexibility, the Offline Laboratories can be configured in many different ways to accommodate science experiment disciplines from cell culture science to plant physiology to protein crystal growth.
