Students investigating ways of growing crops in space to have project tested on low gravity flight

Four secondary school students investigating ways of growing crops in space are to have their project tested on a low gravity flight.

The team from Skerries Community College in Dublin will be the first ever Irish teenagers selected for the flight due to a unique partnership between the Irish Composites Centre (IComp) at University of Limerick’s Bernal Institute and Project PoSSUM (Polar Suborbital Science in the Upper Mesosphere).
