The first space greenhouse on the ISS may appear in the spring of 2023, where they plan to grow industrial hemp, on August 18, Redwire wrote in a press release.
It is reported that the research on board the station will take 60 days. The astronauts will explore the possibilities of growing full-fledged crops in orbit.
The company’s specialists noted the importance of this experiment for future space exploration flights, since plants will help ensure the regeneration of food, oxygen and water.
Recall that earlier it was written that the employees of the company “Equipo” from Russia have created a ceramic lightweight engine that will reduce the mass of spacecraft.
With this invention, scientists will be able to save on the amount of fuel, increasing the efficiency, and deliver more necessary cargo into orbit.
“The experiment is aimed at improving crop production on Earth and will allow us to explore the cultivation of crops in space to ensure future long—term space flights,” said Dave Reed, operations director of the Redwire launch pad in Florida.
