Budweiser’s innovation team selected barley, one of its core ingredients, to be the focus of the first two experiments in space. The spaceflight research on the International Space Station will unveil how the barley seeds react in a unique microgravityThe condition of perceived weightlessness created when an object is in free fall, for example when an object is in orbital motion. Microgravity alters many observable phenomena within the physical and life sciences, allowing scientists to study things in ways not possible on Earth. The International Space Station provides access to a persistent microgravity environment. environment.
