Almost 40 days ago, (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) sent 800 ants to space in order to observe their movements in low gravity.
The ants arrived ISS (International Space Station) abouth a month ago and a special company experiments it.
The ants were chosen because they inside colonies move according to internalised rules.
Also, they use their sense of smell.
In addition, ants are suitable to find food or supplies.
Scientists want to produce robots which work in low gravity on the space because of these datas.
Some people says this experiment is unnecessary to find out a lot of significant informations about another experiment which will be tried soon.
In my opinion, this experiment is so important to realize what effects happen if an experiment goes to the space and stays there for a long time.
