A microgravity experiment designed by students from Rizal Technological University was performed aboard the International Space Station on March 24.
NASA astronaut Christopher Williams carried out the Double Gyroscope experiment inside the Kibo module. The test was part of the 2025 Asian Try Zero-G competition organized by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
The students Christopher Tumamac, Ryan Andrew Doña and Rose Ann Cezar developed the proposal. It was selected from 89 entries submitted in the Philippines between November 2024 and January 2025.
Philippine Space Agency officials said the results matched the students' predictions about gyroscope motion in microgravity. The findings will be presented at the competition wrap-up session later this year.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that a Filipino student experiment has been conducted on the station through the same regional program.
