Preservation of biological samples derived from life science experiments is essential for carrying out a variety of life science experiments on space station (Japan Experiment Module:JEM). This is because the experiments on JEM have to be carried out under a special restricted circumstance characterized by limited space and micro-gravity where analytical technique or equipment usually applied for experiments on the ground cannot be always applied. National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) is surveying and developing preservation or fixation techniques of biological samples for life science experiments in space as a part of the generic experiment technology development program. The Survey and development are introduced in this paper.
