An experiment called MicroAge is set to be launched to International Space Station on SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
MicroAge Experiment will help people in living a longer and healthier life.
As the part of this experiment, human cells will be launched to space.
Human cells have been put into small 3Dholders. These cells will be electrically stimulated, once they reach to space. The electrical stimulation will help in inducing contractions in muscle tissue. This experiment will help scientists in examining the cells closely.
These cells will be analysed by Researchers from University of Liverpool. Research will be funded by the UK Space Agency. UK Space Agency has provided 1.2 million in funds to conduct the experiment.
