Experiment results will also contibute to an increased understanding of age-related bone loss, balance disorders and other ailments back on Earth. * FSL (Fluid Science Laboratory) - will accommodate experiments in the strange behaviour of weightless liquids. These too, could bring far-reaching benefits on Earth: better ways to clean up oil spills, for example, and even improved manufacture of optical lenses. *
