Space Travel: Virgin Galactic Company’s spacecraft will fly this evening. After which a big study will be added in the field of space travel. A total of six people, including the company’s owner Richard Brenson, are going on a journey to space.

Virgin Galactic Flight: Indian-origin aeronautical engineer Sirisha Bandla is going to step into space today. During the flight, she will do an experiment related to an important plant. Through which the data will be collected. Sirisha will activate an experiment involving NASA’s plants. She works for the spacecraft company Virgin Galactic and is part of the company’s Unity 22 flight. On July 11, billionaire Richard Branson is going to space with a total of six people, including members of Virgin Galactic.
US space agency NASA said on Saturday that Sirisha Bandla, vice president of government affairs and research at Virgin Galactic, will perform these experiments during the Unity 22 flight on behalf of researchers from the University of Florida. She will release a tube filled with three plants as part of this experiment (Sirisha Bandla Space Mission). This work will be done on the standard Earth’s gravitational force just before entering microgravity and after the end of microgravity.
Many questions will be answered by experiment
University researchers have previously done these experiments during flight in the past. But now data will also be collected through Unity 22 flight (NASA Plant Experiment). These researchers have been studying biological changes through plants for the past several years. They are looking for answers to the question of what changes when plants travel from Earth’s atmosphere into space. The experiments that Sirisha will do will give answers to many questions. Like how space travel can affect humans and other organisms.
Studies started in the 1990s
Researchers Robert Ferrell and Anna-Lisa Paul began studying how plants respond to microgravity at the molecular level with the Space Shuttle experiments in the 1990s. Meaning whether there is any change in them or not (Sirisha Bandla NASA Task). They believe that plants behave differently in space than on Earth. Paul says, ‘About half of the genes in our bodies encode proteins similar to those of plants. We are finding out how plants are affected without gravity.
