The first human tissue samples from Oxford's Space Innovation Lab (SIL) are being hosted by the International Space Station, where they will be used to study the effects of space microgravity on the human ageing process.

The samples are housed inside a Science Cube, which will be accommodated inside the ICE Cubes Facility once onboard the ISS; which provides power and data to the payload, as well as real-time connectivity with ground, enabling researchers back in Oxford to monitor and interact with the experiment in real-time.
