  2. Flight Data • 3-experimental groups • 50eggs/group • Initial water temp. 14˚C • 300ml of water/thermos • Eggs were enclosed for: 3hr 41min • Flight Time: 1hr 52min • Temperature low: -5.3˚C • Atmospheric Pressure Low: 179.8hPa

  3. Rainbow Trout Egg Data • Eggs Fertilized: Sept. 14, 2012 • Reared in vertical incubation rack • Maintained at 13-17˚C pre-launch • Maintained at 13-15˚C post-launch

  4. Survival, 5-days Post-launch • Flight Group-76% • 38/50Survived • Travel Group-94% • 47/50 Survived • Control Group- 96% • 48/50Survived

  5. Survival/Day, Post-Launch

  6. Goals • Measure Dissolved Oxygen before and after the flight • Seal the eggs with pure O2 • Launch multiple groups • More individuals/group • Write ACUC protocol for long-term rearing

  7. Interesting News • Yesterday, 2-cosmonauts and 1-astronaut launched in the Soyuz capsule from Kazakhstan to the International Space Station • “In addition to the three 'nauts, the Soyuz is also carrying 32 small fish up to the ISS where they will participate in experiments designed to advance the frontiers of human knowledge on fish in space.” • http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/23/astronauts_blast_off_to_iss/
