The 'Butterflies In Space' project was sponsored by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute in the fall of 2009. Several Vanessa Cardui larvae that hatched six days earlier flew aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station. The experiment would examine the biological development and behaviours of the butterfly species Vanessa Cardui for the duration of their lifespan in outer space. | The 'Butterflies In Space' project was sponsored by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute in the fall of 2009.
