Butterflies are emerging from their cocoons inside the station's Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus. Two types of butterflies, the Painted Lady and Monarch, and their ability to grow and develop while in microgravity are being studied. These are the first ever Monarch butterflies in space, and the first Painted Lady butterflies ever to undergo all phases of development (larva, pupae, adult) in microgravity.

With Virgin Galactic rolling out WhiteKnightTwo on Monday we thought it would be fun to highlight the Virgin Galactic experience. This animation shows what it will be like to takeoff, drop from WhiteKNightTwo, blast in to space aboard SpaceShipTwo, feel what it is like in microgravity for 4 to 5 minutes and then land again safely on the ground.

Painted Lady butterflies are in space! On November 16, 2009, larvae that hatched six days earlier flew aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station. Now, you can observe their development and behavior in microgravity. Learn how to set up a ground-based activity here. Download a free Teacher's Guide at www.bioedonline.org.

and is sponsored by the Canadian Space Agency. The CCISS experiment (for Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Control on Return from the International Space Station) is the first to try to look fully at how astronauts' bodies cope with microgravity in space. This experiment examines what happens to the cardiovascular system when astronauts spend an extended time in a state of weightlessness, said Dr. Hooley McLaughlin, Director of Visitor Experience. What is especially timely for us here ...
