What Is Genes in Space?
Genes in Space invites students in grades 7–12 who live and study in the United States or its territories to design a molecular or genetic biology experiment for space. Students may enter individually or in pairs with an adult sponsor; no laboratory or equipment is required. Proposals need an original hypothesis and a workable approach using the competition's toolkit. The 2026 contest is closed, and exact 2027 entry dates are not published in these pages. A winning experiment's flight depends on ISS National Lab approval; future fees, travel and program benefits should be checked in the next rules.
