LaunchLabz Mission Sprouts (Perlite)

Grow real space science at home, in the classroom, or anywhere curiosity takes you!

LaunchLabz Mission Sprouts (Perlite) gives young scientists and curious minds the unique opportunity to recreate a genuine spaceflight experiment using seeds that have travelled to the International Space Station. Compare space-flown white clover seeds with identical Earth-grown control seeds and investigate how the space environment may influence germination and early plant growth.

Using sterile, lightweight perlite as the growing medium, you'll design your own investigation, record observations, test different variables, and compare your results with data from a real 2023 space mission.

Perfect for at home, classrooms, STEM clubs, and future astronauts, Mission Sprouts transforms real space research into an engaging hands-on experiments.
