The purpose of this experiment is the observation of dandelion plant growth under non-directional gravity. Moon geese are conducting the gravitropic dandelion experiment (clinostat) as part of their daily routine. By picking on the green button-line hanging below – the geese are causing the dandelion to interrupt his otherwise constant turns of 1 rpm. Dandelion is their preferred food. Therefore dandelion growth on the moon is an absolute necessity. Goose activity is transmitted in real time. The movements of the dandelion in the model and the one in the remote analogue are synchronised.
