- ISS Experiments
- Last import
- 2026-10-16 08:23:43 UTC
- Statistics built
- 2026-10-16 08:24:50 UTC
- Population
- 3,004 distinct investigations in scope of 3,004 in the catalog, identified by identity_key.
- Reporting periods
- Unit: listed expedition label (single or paired, as the source lists it). Paired labels are kept as listed; "0" and other special values are kept apart until a reviewed reference gives them a meaning.
- Counting
- Counts are distinct investigations. Period totals overlap and are never added together; calendar totals count each investigation once per year.
- People and organizations
- Names are parsed conservatively (entries are split on line breaks and semicolons, never on commas) and kept as written next to their normalised form. Spelling variants stay separate until an administrator reviews an alias. Nationality is never inferred from the sponsoring agency.
- Limitations
- The catalog lists investigations by reporting period; it does not record when work happened, how much it cost or whether it succeeded. A listing is not an outcome.
ISS Commercial Activity and Opportunities
Which investigations have documented commercial participation or objectives, which companies take part in which roles, how participation changes, which services and facilities support it, and where the evidence suggests opportunities to investigate.
Company Explorer
- Definition: Documented commercial participation. Counts use reviewed classifications and source facts; unreviewed suggestions are not counted.
