HARPER WOODS — Students at Chandler Park Academy in Harper Woods have the rare honor of an experiment they designed being blasted into space and performed by astronauts.
The experiment to test how microgravity could affect how tomatoes grow was part of the 14th National Center for Earth and Space Science Education’s Student Spaceflight program. During each flight, experiments designed by students across the United States are included on space missions where astronauts perform the experiments according to the students’ specifications.
