TECH & INNOVATIONFemale mice were sent to a rodent habitat in the ISS for 37 days. As part of an experiment, NASA sent 20 female mice to the International Space Station with the goal of observing their reaction to microgravity-both short and long term-and then further learning about how both humans and animals will possibly adapt to a different environment in space.
NASA launched its “twin study” project to find out how microgravity would have its impact on the human body, particularly how it causes the body to age.
