SPORESAT is an autonomous, free-flying three-unit (3U) spacecraft that will be used to conduct scientific experiments to gain a deeper knowledge of the mechanisms of plant cell gravity sensing. SporeSat was developed through a partnership between NASA's Ames Research Center and the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University. Purdue University Principal Investigators are Amani Salim and Jenna L. Rickus. Stan Roux and Mari Salmi, both from the University of Texas at Austin, are Co-Investigators on the project.
