The CNES, the Pasteur Institute and SupBiotech are ready to send the “Cerebral Ageing” experiment to the International Space Station
Scheduled for early November, the Cerebral Ageing experiment will depart for the International Space Station (ISS) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, inside a Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 launcher. The experiment aims firstly to create the conditions for studying complex human cellular structures in vitro over long periods in space. It subsequently seeks to analyse the effects of long-term space travels on their physiology. This experiment has been designed by scientists at the Institut Pasteur and SupBiotech, working closely with CNES (French Space Agency) experts.
