Colorado lab working with BioServe to send hemp and coffee research to space
Hemp leaves in a laboratory.
A Colorado research laboratory is teaming up with a space-tech firm and Â鶹¹ÙÍø research institute to send hemp and coffee into outer space, in order to learn more about the power plants.
Front Range Biosciences team has partnered with BioServe Space Technologies, a CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø institute that studies microgravity life science, to send hemp and coffee to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX CRS-20, a cargo flight scheduled for March 2020, according to Front Range.
The study calls for 480 plant-cell cultures to reside in an incubator aboard the ISS for about a month, with environmental conditions monitored remotely at CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø by BioServe.
