Students look into ways of cultivating crops in space

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).
