Description
Schubladenartiges Late-Access-Modul einer schwedischen Höhenforschungsrakete. Mit dem die Hochschule Luzern, Abteilung Technik und Architektur die Frage untersuchte, wie sich Schwerelosigkeit auf einzelne Zellen auswirkt. Das Experiment CEMIOS (Cellular Effects of Microgravity Induced Oocyte Samples) fand am 15. März 2016 im nordschwedischen Kiruna statt. Der ballistische Raketenflug dauerte etwa 15 Minuten. Die Rakete war dabei rund 2 Minuten schwerelos.Signature / Inscription

Biological Experiment CEMIOS
Frog Eggs on a Short Trip to Space
Zero gravity affects not only individual organs, muscles or bones, but also cells. However, it is not clear how cells can perceive external forces. The Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture examined this question using eggs of the South African clawed frog. The research module on show here was launched into space on 15 March 2016 from Kiruna in Northern Sweden on board a sounding rocket. Drawer-like, so-called late-access modules allow six live frog eggs to be introduced shortly before the launch. The aim of the CEMIOS experiment (Cellular Effects of Microgravity Induced Oocyte Samples) was to measure the ion flux through the egg’s cell membrane during the fifteen-minute flight – including the around two minutes of zero gravity – until the rocket returned to earth on a parachute. This kind of experiment can also provide information on how certain symptoms occur in astronauts and in bedridden patients on the earth.
