Curriculum collaboration science & art

Posted 27th February 2025

Due to launch in mid-2025, the MicroAge II mission aims to build on our understanding of how muscles change in microgravity and during aging whilst on earth. The study will look at how the muscle mitochondria change in shape and distribution in microgravity and how they compare with humans on earth.

This exciting mission, launched in partnership with Liverpool University and the UK Space Agency, offered some of students to be part of the ground-breaking world of humans in space. Students in Liverpool took part in designing the mission patch that will become the logo for promotional materials for the MicroAge II mission. Those who make it into the top 12 within the city, will have their patch created and flown into space for the duration of the mission.

When the mission ends, the successful candidates will receive their designs back meaning they own something that has not only been to space but been part of ground-breaking science.

All of our students entries were fantastic, we felt some of the images here really captured the brief and demonstrated creative effort and ability when designing their own patch. Well done to our students and Fingers crossed!!
