St. Francis High School students launch bacteria experiment into space
A group of students from St. Francis High School in La Cañada Flintridge traveled to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to watch their science experiment rocket into space on Nov. 4.
The students, part of Team E.coli, were selected as the winning squad in St. Francis’ Knight Skies Program, which challenged scholars to come up with an experiment that could be conducted at the International Space Station.
The students on the winning team were Christopher Baghassarian, Luca Bonnici, Vaughn Cross, Carlos Ferreira Gaxiola, Alec Heberger, Malik Husaini, Danial Jamshidi, Rod Khollesi, Robert Milton, and Andrew Tahmazyan.
