Cells In Space: Helping Astronauts and Injured Soldiers

Cells In Space: Helping Astronauts and Injured Soldiers

As part of the Your Place In Space initiative, the Department of Defense (DOD) invites you to explore their space-inspired K-12 STEM resources on its agency website. We hope you find helpful materials that equip and empower your students to discover, explore, and create their place in space! 

An experiment created at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and blasted into space aboard the Space Shuttle is helping design better ways to treat injured soldiers and keep astronauts healthier.
