The worms launch in culture bags and microfluidic chips, live on the station for ~6 days, then get imaged, frozen and returned to Earth for analysis. A matching ground experiment runs simultaneously so we can isolate what impact of microgravity.

Preflight microscopic image of C. elegans worm expressing fluorescent proteins in gut microbiome, plus reporting on changes in gut, nerve, and muscle function as part of C. elegans Biological Investigation on Microbiome Effect in Space (CBIOMES).

The worms are called C. elegans. About 1mm long, with a lot of physiology that works like ours. Scientists have used them to make Nobel Prize-winning discoveries about genetics, aging, and disease. Now they're taking a trip to space.

Childbirth in Space: Science Fiction or Biological Catastrophe? Is it possible to conceive and give birth in space? Current scientific assessments remain cautious and, in many cases, pessimistic, highlighting risks that may be both unexpected and concerning. Ambitious plans for the colonization of the Moon and Mars typically focus on launch systems, habitats, life-support infrastructure, and conceptual designs. However, behind this technological outlook […] Post Childbirth in Space: Science Fiction or Biological Catastrophe? at Root-Nation.com.
