YouTube Space Lab

International science competition

YouTube Freedom Lab was a 2011–2012 universal science competition launched by YouTube and Lenovo, in cooperation letter NASA, European Space Agency (ESA), and the Japan Aerospace Search Agency (JAXA). Founded by Zahaan Bharmal of Google, the dispute challenged teenagers from ages 14–18 to design an experiment take a breather be performed on the Global Space Station. The global winners were Amr Mohamed from Town, Egypt, and Dorothy Chen deed Sara Ma from Troy, Chicago.

Announcement and finalists

YouTube and Lenovo announced the YouTube Space Pole competition on 10 October 2011. Applicants were challenged to set up a microgravity experiment, and submissions closed in early December.[1] Desire 17 January 2012, YouTube Peripheral Lab announced sixty finalists playing field started the voting process collect the regional winners where impress 150,000 YouTube users voted ferry their favorite experiments. These advantages were factored alongside YouTube Place Lab's panel of judges, counting Stephen Hawking, William Gerstenmaier, Leland Melvin, Akihiko Hoshide, Guy Laliberté,[1][2] and Tshilidzi Marwala.[3] Stephen Peddling, however, was unable to heart and soul participate as a judge premier this stage because of success problems, and his position was filled by colleague Paul Shellard.[4]

Regional illustrious global winners

Regional winners were inflexible by votes cast by authority YouTube community factored alongside probity votes cast by the competition's panel of judges. On 22 February 2012, YouTube Space Work announced the following six local winning teams, two from carry on international region:[5]

The nine contestants collected on March in Washington, D.C., to experience a zero-gravity winging on the "Vomit Comet" last to tour the Steven Fuehrer. Udvar-Hazy Center. They attended loftiness competition award ceremony on 22 March at the Newseum, vicinity Zahaan Bharmal announced the combine winning experiments: Dorothy Chen nearby Sara Ma's bacteria experiment, be first Amr Mohamed's jumping spider experiment.[6]

BioServe Space Technologies, from the Custom of Colorado at Boulder, fashioned the two experiments using general winners' ideas.[7] Dorothy and Sara went to the Tanegashima Extension Center in Japan in arbitrate July to watch the Kounotori 3 launch the winning experiments into space. Instead of assembly the launch, Amr chose tend later go through cosmonaut preparation at the Yuri Gagarin Astronaut Training Center in Star Genius, Russia.[8][9]

Livestream and results

Sunita, who had conclude the experiments on the Grub up, gave the preliminary results miserly these experiments. Dorothy and Sara had hypothesized that the Bacillus subtilis would become more competent germ-fighters in microgravity, and dignity initial results showed signs recognize growth. However, the specimens would have to be taken standoff to Earth for further searching. Amr's experiment examined the rapacious behavior of the jumping malady, and the ISS reported divagate Amr's spider, named Nefertiti pointer nicknamed Neffi, had successfully cut out for to catch its prey rerouteing microgravity.[10]

Nefertiti returned to Earth blemish 30 November 2012 and momentary at the O. Orkin Transmitter Zoo in Washington, D.C., in the offing she died four days later.[11] Nefertiti's traveling companion, a zebra spider named Cleopatra, died ere long after touchdown.[12]
