A pair of experiments exploring bone density designed by @UMich engineers left a Virginia launchpad aboard a rocket headed for the International Space Station. myumi.ch/WJkX1
Liu Lab UMich retweeted
The experiments blasted off early this morning. clickondetroit.com/all-about-ann-…
The Liu Lab travelled to the NASA base at Wallops Island to prepare experiments to be conducted International Space Station (ISS). We will follow up with the NG-18 launch experience and our stay at Wallops. @ISS_CASIS

Less than 24 hours left before this microfluidic chip will be traveling through space. Think good thoughts for Allen Liu's Lab as they prepare for launch day tomorrow to the #InternationalSpaceStation
Liu Lab UMich retweeted
4 PhD Students + NASA + Space Tango = This is going to be exciting! Be sure to keep an eye on our Instagram to find out what this group from Professor Allen Liu's lab is launching to the International Space Station this Sunday (if all goes as planned🤞)
