The butterflies in space mission used 'life in space' as a theme to engage students to conduct scientific investigation by constructing their own habitats in the classroom to study the life cycle of the butterfly. The greatest variable was gravity, but both aimed to contain life and further speculate how knowledge gained might apply to humans traveling farther into the solar system. A migration to space is at a level relatively few can appreciate. Non humans biological organism were the first beings to experience the conditions of space for the purpose of biotechnological research. The effects of the expected space vacuum, wide temperature extremes, and cosmic radiation of the space frontier effect how living systems might adapt to and function in the weightless of orbital space. | The butterflies in space mission used 'life in space' as a theme to engage students to conduct scientific investigation by constructing their own habitats in the classroom to study the life cycle of the butterfly.
