FRR
Flight Readiness Review
To get the prototype ready for the Flight Readiness Review (FRR), we had to put a lot of work into it. We had to fix all the major and minor issues that came up after sending the SED to our contacts yuri and DLR. At the FRR we presented all the corrections and missing data again and see if the prototype is approved for flight.
So, will this pototype fly to the ISS? No. This means we are in the delta FRR.
There are just little technical changes left to develop our prototype cube to a flight ready cube. Finally, a complete prototype test with all components merged together is needed, to see if our experiment is running and our plants are growing in the right way.

Validation of the Nodules
After a half year we are getting closer to a successful experimental process. By visualizing the fist satisfactorily grown nodules under the microscope!
The grey pictures were taken under the light microscope while the red ones are made with fluorescent light!
In the next two pictures you can see a nodule with a higher magnification. The red dots on the left side of the nodule are the nitrogen fixing bacteria (Sinorhizobium meliloti).
