What Our Experiment is About

Ladybugs in Space will show how micro-gravity will affect the life cycle of a ladybug. We feel that it is important to discover how micro-gravity could affect ladybugs so that in the future, if there are gardens in space, astronauts and scientists will be able to prevent pests like aphids from destroying food resources.

We expect that micro-gravity will speed up the process, that typically takes 26-54 days (from egg to adult) on earth.

While the ladybugs are in space, we will be conducting a ground truth test to monitor our findings and document our results. We will compare our findings after the mission returns back to earth.

wow

So somehow there is magically spiderwebs in the tank. I don't know how they got there unless there is a spider in the tank. Otherwise everything is just fine and normal. And there is still NO eggs; hasn't it been at least a month??!!? I mean, at least it doesn't launch until June      :-)     :-(
