MERRITT ISLAND, FL, UNITED STATES, December 8, 2019 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Pheronym, a bio-ag-tech pest control company, announced today that its first-ever agricultural bio-control experiment featuring beneficial nematodes is on its way to the\u00a0International Space Station<\/a>\u00a0(ISS) U.S. National Laboratory after a successful launch today at the Kennedy Space Center. The nematodes were on a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket on December 5, 2019,\u00a0launching the 21st Dragon spacecraft<\/a>\u00a0mission on its 19th commercial resupply delivery flight to the ISS. The science will focus on Pheronym\u2019s breakthrough nematode bio-remediation technology and determine the impact that space travel has on the ability of beneficial nematodes to effectively manage pest control as well as other benefits for agriculture here on Earth. The\u00a0nematodes reached the ISS<\/a>\u00a0on SpaceX Dragon capsule on Sunday, December 8 at 5:05 AM Eastern Time. <\/span><\/h4>\n
