SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Two locally designed artworks are now orbiting Earth aboard the International Space Station (ISS), as part of a 64-piece Moon Gallery collection of miniature works by international artists.

They reached the space station on Monday (March 14) on a cargo craft, and will spend the next 10 months as part of a test flight for artists to learn how the different designs and materials perform in the microgravity of space.
