In a groundbreaking achievement, students from RV College of Engineering, Bengaluru, have sent the first biological payload from India into space as part of the SPADEX mission. The experiment aims to study the growth of gut bacteria in space, providing valuable insights into how the digestive system functions in microgravity. This research is crucial for future manned missions like Gaganyaan, ensuring the health and well-being of Indian astronauts. The 30 lakh project has received support from multiple agencies and marks a significant milestone in India's space exploration efforts.
