Chinese crew harvests rice grown aboard Tiangong space station
Astronauts from China have managed to grow and collect a rice harvest on the Tiangong space station following a two-month cultivation period. The seeds were transported to the station back in May as part of the Shenzhou-23 mission. According to researchers, this experiment provides insight into the feasibility of space-based agriculture, which could eventually allow for self-sustaining long-duration space travel.
