An experiment called “MicroAge” is set to be launched to International Space Station on SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

Highlights

• MicroAge Experiment will help people in living a longer and healthier life.
• As the part of this experiment, human cells will be launched to space.
• Experiment will help in understanding what happens to the human cells and why.
• Experiment will be launched to space from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

How cells will be sent to space?

Human cells have been put into small 3D holders. These cells will be electrically stimulated, once they reach to space. The electrical stimulation will help in inducing contractions in muscle tissue.  This experiment will help scientists in examining the cells closely.
