Launching biological systems to space requires intensive cell health maintenance and monitoring between when a system is loaded into the CubeLab and when the experiment starts in the 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. PAULs allow us to keep biological specimens healthy on the ground, on the launch pad, and throughout the journey to their install destination. In the event of launch delays, the cells can be kept healthy without needing to refresh the biology before launch.
