Because we couldn't conduct experiments on the effects of microgravity on plant growth, we decided to analyze the effects of hypergravity on plant growth and development. We exposed plants to hypergravity on a centrifuge. Here is our first, and smallest, plant centrifuge - made from an old record player.

In order for longterm space missions to be successful, a renewable food source is needed. We've developed a hydroponic garden specifically designed to function under conditions of microgravity - ETON. We've been offered the opportunity to launch NanoETON on NASA's ISS to test our hypothesis that water can be circulated in microgravity using centripetal force. This research may help the development of hydroponic gardens for future space missions.
