Nottingham Space Society's
A student balloon project, built and engineered by the University of Nottingham Space Society.
Target launch window: October 12
Mission
Our mission is to sustain cells at high altitudes in a maintained pressure, temperature and UV exposure.
To conduct real time analysis on any cell type with fluorescent spectroscopy.
And eventually, to be able to conduct RNA sequencing by preserving the cells in-situ.
Hardware
REXUS/BEXUS is a campaign organized by a bilateral Agency Agreement between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) in cooperation with European Space Agency (ESA). It gives European students the opportunity to carry out scientific experiments on-board sounding rockets and high-altitude balloons.
