Can you imagine living and working in space? It's the reality for
some scientists, who inhabit laboratories in deep space, far above
our planet. Research on the Edge - Space Lab is a gripping look at
the daily lives of these scientists, and the vital research they
carry out in extreme conditions. Discover the difficulties of
setting up a space lab and the challenges of supplying equipment
and necessities to the workers. Children can read about the
conditions scientists live in, from where they sleep to how they
get into space, and some of the dangers they must avoid. Explore
how research conducted in space can expand our horizons, increase
our understanding of other planets, and expand our knowledge of the
universe. It can reveal untapped resources, and lead to the
development of new materials and technologies. Learn about the
incredible technology that enables the scientists to live and work
in dangerous conditions and how they are supported by teams of
people working back on Earth. See how they attempt to live with as
little impact on their environment as possible. Discover how
scientists manage their data, and publish it in journals around the
world, and see how their findings can affect the way we do things
in our everyday lives. Find out about the international science
community - where and why cutting-edge research is carried out, how
it is paid for, and who owns the results. Research on the Edge -
Space Lab is ideal for children age 9+, for geography and science
projects, or simply as a great leisure read. Space is not the only
place where scientists work in extreme conditions. Try reading
about the Ocean Lab, the Rainforest Lab and the Polar Lab.
