Murphy Young Group has provided sponsorship support to a group of research students from Newcastle University. The researchers had devised an experiment to observe the oxygen uptake of yeast under micro gravity conditions using a special microscope. The research involved utilisation of the European Space Agency Zero G aircraft and would be used to determine the potential use of the equipment on the international space station. The team undertook three days of flights. Support was required for the funding of the bespoke mounting equipment required for use on the aircraft.
