SpaceFlight experience will be the first in the history of the university
(GLA PR TEL) Plant samples from the Astrobotanic Laboratory of Winston-Salem State University will be in all women’s mission in the first blue origin in this spring.

WSSU Astrobotany will investigate how the experimental managed by students and researchers responds to how the crops responded to the micrografia at the molecular level, and responding to a sustainable space agriculture and food security on earth.
WSSU’s leader Astrobotany research program, located within the framework of the Department of Biological Sciences, it became the first subordital spaceflight testing experience in the history of the university and was on the forefront of the space plant.
Astrobotany Laboratory is the only space plant biology lab in an HBCU and is the only HBCU laboratory with NASA Kennedy Space Center for the Verity Production Group.
The foundation experience for the future of space agriculture, food security
Experience, stress reaction, food transport and metabolism, focusing on six main gene, the molecular stress reaction will appreciate the exposure reaction of the microgravity.
Students will explore how the gravity of the gravity growth by seeking changes in genes. After the flight, they will use the molecular tools to monitor the genus’ statement of microgravel.
“This mission provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage in real-world space studies, but also our students,” said Dr. Rafael Loureiro, Botanical and Plant Plant Physiology and Astrobotany Laboratory founder in WSSU. “By participating in this suborbital flight experience with Aisha, our students gain experience in Astrobotany, which will help build the future of exploration and sustainable food production.”
“This cooperation ensures that HBCU students are not only participants, and the first women in the history of the WSSU. “Winston-Salem State University is committed to breaking barriers, and this mission is the will of the critical role of the critical role in the development of Space research and students to prepare the future of our students.”
To strengthen the next generation of space scientists
Through this cooperation, WSSU students – one of the teams leading several HBCUs conducting space-based plant research contributes to advanced discoveries for future lunar and Martian residences.
“This experience is about world-class studies that benefit both the space and life of both areas and life of life,” Bowe will practice in the NS-31 flight. “WSSU’s Astrobotany laboratory shapes the future of a sustainable agriculture outside our planet and is honored to support the groundbreaking work.”
Research results and future
The findings from this experiment will contribute to the concept of how the plants adapt to extreme environments, how to adapt the main factor for the future month and Marti.
The Blue Origin is an important stage for the beginning of HBCUS, space-based agriculture and wider science.
