Mission
Our 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.

The Payload
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.
