Jaguar Space and The Karman Project have announced a joint mission to launch a world first cultural payload to the International Space Station ISS in a pioneering initiative blending cultural heritage with scientific innovation.
The project brings together four countries Armenia, Egypt, Nigeria, and Pakistan in a symbolic and scientific collaboration that will study the spaceflight response of seeds with deep national significance.
The team is finalising the payloads for integration, and they are scheduling a launch to the ISS shortly.
The mission marks a significant step toward democratising access to space research, promoting cross cultural dialogue, and unlocking new knowledge at the intersection of science, identity, and sustainability.
