Israeli Experiments Land with Final Space Shuttle
(Canadian Jewish News) Andy Levy-Ajzenkopf - When the Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down after its final voyage last week, it returned with three Israeli experiments. The Israeli scientific payloads included microgravity experiments on telomeres - DNA sequences that protect chromosomes from erosion, a study on bone cells, and another on water purification. All three experiments were organized by Israel's Fisher Institute for Strategic Air and Space Studies.
