The jellyfish were launched on the rocket STS-40, in the Space Life Science-1 (SLS-1) on June 5th 1991. The experiment was led by a researcher named Dorothy Spangenberg and lasted nine days. One of the purposes of this mission was to investigate the consequences of the body’s adaptation to microgravity and readjustment to Earth’s gravity.
