For Educators The Flies in Space experiment has been designed to fly on the space shuttle on an upcoming mission. The goals of this experiment include characterizing the effects of space travel (including weightlessness and radiation exposure) on fruit flies’ immune systems. Fruit flies have long been used by scientists worldwide because their genome has been completely mapped, their short life cycle enables multiple generations to be studied in a short amount of time, and they have many analogous processes to humans. The attached documents will assist you as you use this website with your students.
