Two Morehead State students recently won a competition at the
inaugural Mission Discovery Science Camp in Louisville.
Taylor Cash and Emma Mariner, both freshmen at MSU majoring
in space science, attended the camp March 21-22 and 28-29 at the Kentucky
Science Center. Cash and Mariner, both from Morehead, were members of the
Circuiteers, the only all-female team in the competition. They developed a
science experiment that will be sent to the International Space Station later
this year. Their experiment will determine whether the microgravity of space
will affect the regeneration abilities of the orange fan sponge.
Other members of the Circuiteers were Jasarae McKinney, a
sophomore at Rowan County Senior High School; Shaye Allen and Raven Tindall
from Presentation Academy Preparatory School in Louisville; and Julia Smith
from Ballard High School, also in Louisville.
A total of seven teams from across the Commonwealth
participated in the camp, which was a collaborative partnership between
Kentucky Space, Higher Orbits, Space Tango and the Kentucky Science
Center.
