UW-Milwaukee RockSat-C

July 02, 2018

In late June, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Students for the Exploration and Development of Space team participated in NASA’s and the Colorado Space Grant’s RockSat-C program where a project they designed was launched into space on a NASA rocket. 

With this project, the team is researching what happens to DNA when it’s bombarded with cosmic radiation.

Read all about their project and experience in the article by the UWM College of Letters and Science: http://uwm.edu/letters-science/news/students-send-plasmids-to-space-on-a-nasa-rocket
