Not many students can claim to have sent a research project to the International Space Station (ISS) – but 25-year-old Fanny Rößler from Munich can. Her research equipment has now landed back on Earth, and the data is currently being analyzed. If everything goes well, we will soon know more about how human cells change in zero-gravity conditions. We may even learn more about how this type of experiment – in which electrical engineering plays a none too insignificant role – could change space exploration as a whole. The project was made possible by a student competition run by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). And this wasn’t the first competition that Rößler took part in...
