Sea urchin fertilization during a KC-135 parabolic flight

Schatten, H., et al. (1999). "Sea urchin fertilization during a KC-135 parabolic flight." Journal of Gravitational Physiology: a Journal of the International Society for Gravitational Physiology 6 1: P91-2

For long-term exposure to space it is crucial to understand the underlying mechanisms for altered physiological functions. We have chosen the sea urchin system to study the effects of microgravity on various cellular processes visible during fertilization and subsequent development. We report here on experiments performed on NASA's KC-135 during parabolic flight trajectories to validate procedures to be implemented as part of the first Aquatic Research Facility Space Shuttle experiment on STS-77.
