Jun 2, 20264 min read
Under the CARISPACE initiative, Nevis launched the first space life sciences experiment from the Caribbean region aboard SSC's SubOrbital Express S1X-5/M17 sounding rocket from Esrange, Sweden. Reaching 260 km with over six minutes of microgravity, the experiment studied how gravity changes affect human immune cells, a landmark moment for Caribbean-led space research.
