We are working on a team with members from USA, Brazil, Ghana, Liberia, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines. We are extending the scope of last year's experiment to test the germination and growth rate in these countries.We have just received the information that our experiment was approved and we will be on NASA flight RB-10.

Our STEM experiment is focusing on doing a research on the effects of outer space radiation on the germination and growth of plants. A sample of 2 different plant seeds (radish and collards) are being sent to outer space on a NASA scientific balloon and those seeds will be compared to the same batch that was kept on Earth. Tests are going to be conducted in all countries participating in our group.

On June 2, 2025, we prepared the cube with our experiment and it was sent back to Cubes in Space. Below is a picture of our experiment prior to sending. We were not able to put all 100 seeds of radish in one bag so we had to use two but this does not change the experiment.

We now have to wait until mid-August when our experiment will be launched into space by the NASA Scientific Balloon Facility in Fort Somner, NM. At that time, NASA will send us a link where we can follow the launch LIVE.
