The Affect of Micro Gravity beginning at Low Earth Orbit is what Draws in Wine Connoisseurs and Vini/Viticulture Specialists alike. Gravity has shaped life on earth. Gravity is one of the only parameters of life that has not drastically evolved through time, as opposed to conditions such as light, humidity, temperature and pressure. Gravity has shaped evolution, life and matter as we know it today. 

​

To counteract gravity, living organisms developed systems to provide cell system rigidity, fluid flow regulation, and appropriate structural support for locomotion. 

Ecperiments in the last 10 years on the International Space Station suggest Gravity influences the way cells behave and develop in a profound and subtle manner. 

 

In low Earth Orbit, cells exposed to zero gravity (micro gravity) are affected by physical changes that occur in this unique environment, that is impossible to re create on earth. these changes include loss of gravity dependent convection, negligible hydro dynamic shear, increase of membrane fluidity, and lack of sedimentation. 

​

This leads to significant in the ways that cells respond to a wide variety of environmental and internal biophysical stresses. Enzmatic, genetic, and epigenetic pathways change in concert, leading to modifications of shape, function and behavior of cells and tissues. 

​

These dynamics, properly leveraged on matter from Earth, can provide significant developments, in the fields of agriculture and health care here on earth.
