Fluorescent Deep Space Petri-Pod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fluorescent Deep Space Petri-Pod (FDSPP) is a miniaturised space biology experiment platform developed for studying biological organisms in microgravity and deep space conditions using fluorescent and white-light imaging.[1] The system was launched on a cargo flight Cygnus NG-24 to the International Space Station (ISS) on April 2026.[2][3] It is intended for deployment on the ISS as part of biological research into spaceflight effects on living organisms.[4] The project is developed through collaboration between the University of Leicester and the University of Exeter.[5] It is supported by UK space research programs focused on biological experiments in orbit.[6]
