When Barbara Morgan became the first Educator Astronaut in space onboard STS-118, she carried-on a significant number of basil seeds. These were combined with seeds that were stored in the International Space Station for over a year and both were brought back to Earth. These seeds are available to any teacher who registers and participates in the Engineering Design Challenge: Lunar Plant Growth Chamber. NASA is performing their own experiments on some of the seeds to determine the durability of the seeds and whether they would be a viable crop in a future lunar base. If your class is not registered to participate or for more information, please visit: http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/plantgrowth/home/index.html.

Space Explorers invites you to use our newest database for NASA's Engineering Design Challenge: Lunar Plant Growth Chamber! This database was developed to allow Space Explorers' customers and any other interested participants to enter their basil seed growth data in an online community. Within the database, students can compare the data they enter with other classrooms across the country. If you are a current subscriber, log into Space Explorers' website and go to http://www.space-explorers.com/internal/mdb/ to create plants and enter plant growth data. If you are not a current subscriber visit http://www.space-explorers.com/internal/seipa/wizard.asp?auth=morgan to sign up and use the database at no charge. Once you have entered your information, you will be directed to the database. On that webpage, please use the left navigational bar to find the links to the NASA resources and the tools you need to enter your data and analyze the results.

If there is anything we can do to assist you in using the database, please call 1-800-965-3763 or e-mail customerservice@space-explorers.com with any questions.

Thank you!
