Fluorescent light microscopy image of nucleic acid in a biofilm. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Principal Investigator: Camilla Urbaniak, Voyager Technologies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Overview: The ODYSSEY investigation examines how bacteria behave in microgravity. Researchers will study two bacterial species to see how spaceflight affects their growth, their ability to form biofilms, and their capacity to exchange genetic material. These experiments could aid in the success of future missions and inform innovative […]
