A Chinese experiment is being readied for flight to the International Space Station, perhaps a forerunner of a larger space cooperation agenda between the United States and China.
NanoRacks, a Houston-based commercial firm, has signed an agreement with the Beijing Institute of Technology to fly Chinese DNA research to the orbiting outpost next year.
The agreement is viewed by space policy experts as a symbolic, but forward step in shaping possible future joint work by the two spacefaring nations.
