"Students from Sault Ste. Marie to Send Experiment into Space"

A group of middle and high school students from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, are set to send their experiment to the International Space Station as part of SpaceX's 30th resupply mission. The experiment, which aims to study cellular respiration yeast and Bermuda grass in microgravity, was developed after the students won a space camp competition in 2022. The launch is scheduled for Thursday, March 21, and the students and their families have raised enough money to attend the event at Cape Canaveral.

SpaceX's 29th Resupply Mission to ISS Includes Student Experiment and Live Coverage

SpaceX is planning to launch its Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday night, carrying the Dragon spacecraft's 29th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-29) mission. On board will be supplies and science experiments, including one from a classroom at Pinecrest Academy Space Coast. Eighth graders known as the "Bacteria Boys" have designed an experiment to test if blood from a horseshoe crab can detect harmful bacteria in space. If successful, their experiment could potentially be used to produce medical equipment onsite in space. The launch is scheduled for 8:28 p.m., with a backup opportunity on Friday at 8:05 p.m.
