LaunchLabz Mission Sprouts (Perlite + Vermiculate)

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

LaunchLabz Mission Sprouts (Perlite + Vermiculate) 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 + Vermiculate 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.
