  • International Space Station Cotton Sustainability Challenge Formally
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts: Patrick O'Neill (321) 480-1054 [email protected] International Space Station Cotton Sustainability Challenge Formally Opens Sponsored by Target Corporation, the challenge seeks proposals to improve cotton sustainability through research conducted on the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory Kennedy Space Center, FL (September 5, 2017) — The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) today formally opened a cotton sustainability challenge, sponsored by Target Corporation, where researchers and innovators will have the ability to propose solutions to improve crop production on Earth by sending their concepts to the International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory. The challenge will leverage a broad range of disciplines to find breakthrough solutions that can be implemented affordably and benefit the cotton production community. The challenge is slated to run from September 1st through November 1st, 2017. Selected proposals will receive grant funding through Target Corporation and ultimately manifested for flight to the ISS National Lab. Cotton is a natural plant fiber produced in many countries and one of the most important raw materials required for the production of textiles and clothing. Cotton cultivation requires sustainable access to natural resources like water that are increasingly threatened. This challenge seeks to engage the creative power of the research community to leverage the ISS National Lab to innovate and generate ideas that will improve the utilization of natural resources for sustainable cotton production. Researchers are encouraged to submit concepts focused on, but not limited to: fluid dynamics, fluid flow, cotton or plant germination, different cultivars of cotton genetics, water uptake and gene expression.

AURP remains as the leading international nonprofit association representing research parks and innovation districts in 42 states and 12 countries around the globe and now, in space. Research parks and innovation districts have evolved from their real estate focus in 1986 to today’s mixed-use innovation and applied research clusters sponsored by universities, federal labs, hospital systems, corporations, and cities. Technologies from bio health to clean energy to quantum computing are explored at thousands of companies in AURP-member research parks and innovation districts. Now with the addition of CASIS, space-based research and technologies can be added to the mix to further scientific knowledge and advance novel discoveries not possible on Earth. Additionally, the CASIS recent research announcement is focused on Technology Advancement and Applied Research for companies and organizations to propose investigative concepts that may be sent to the orbiting laboratory sponsored by the ISS National Lab. AURP (520) 529-2521 | [email protected] | www.AURP.net ‘AURP is thrilled with the addition of CASIS to our member community,’ noted Brian Darmody, AURP CEO.

  • Selected Projects
    SELECTED F Y16PROJECTS Tomatosphere Ann Jorss, First the Seed Foundation • ALEXANDRIA, VA Tomatosphere is an educational program started in 1999 in which students investigate how the space environment affects tomato plant growth. Each participating class is sent two packages of tomato seeds: one package of seeds that has been sent into space and one package of control seeds that have not been in space. Students and teachers compare the germination rates of the two groups of seeds, not knowing which seeds went to space and which are the control seeds. This project will provide transportation of 1.2 million seeds to and from the ISS (the seeds will remain in orbit between 10 and 60 days). The project will also include monitoring and data tracking (temperature, humidity, and pressure) for both the seeds sent to the ISS and the control seeds.
