Life science research is on very high level in the home of ELISE lead partner - Kaunas.
Prof. Ragauskas showed us not very known but important and also interesting problem.By the end of this century, Earth may be home to 11 billion people. Humanity will very likely need to put down roots on Mars in order to have plan B.Sight of 60% of people can be damaged or they can become completely blind in 0 gravity environment. Kaunas Technology University is dealing with this crucial component for space travel by developing machine for NASA and ISS in order to find out, why is this phenomena occurring and how to prevent it. By solving this issue, we will be closer to humanity goal - colonising Mars.
