On December 30, iLEAD Agua Dulce’s DreamUp Launch Team Capsicum conducted their postflight analysis of the International Space Station experiment. They unpacked and analyzed their samples and experienced something few have: the chance to hold something that had been in space. The team compared the germination of Capsicum annuum seeds in space and on Earth. Thank you, DreamUp, Nanoracks, iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects, and iLEAD California, for partnering with us to support learners with this rigorous, real-world aerospace opportunity!
