The experiment addresses the question by exposing two samples of defibrinated sheep’s blood (DSB) to microgravity, then mixing one of the samples with Celox Hemostatic Granules, which will induce clotting in that sample. In total, four samples will be available to compare with each other: one that clotted in microgravity, one that didn’t clot, but was exposed to microgravity, one that clotted in regular Earth gravity, and one that didn’t clot, but was exposed to regular Earth gravity. Measuring…
