iss055e001193 (March 8, 2018) --- NASA astronaut Scott Tingle eats a piece of lettuce harvested as part of the ongoing space crop study VEG-03. The botany experiment uses the Veggie plant growth facility to cultivate a type of cabbage, lettuce and mizuna which are harvested on-orbit with some samples consumed by astronauts and others returned to Earth for testing.

iss055e043705 (Apr. 30, 2018) --- Sample bags of crystals grown under experimental conditions controlled by middle and high school students as part of the CASIS PCG-9 investigation.

iss055e043707 (Apr. 30, 2018) --- A close look at crystals grown under experimental conditions controlled by middle and high school students as part of the CASIS PCG-9 investigation to examine the effects of microgravity on crystal growth.

iss055e070862 (5/14/2018) --- NASA Astronaut Drew Feustel is photographed performing Veggie Passive Orbital Nutrient Delivery System (PONDS) operations - including cleaning the Veggie Ponds hardware and Veggie facility (location COL1A1_B1/D1) and then setting up for Drying Out - in the Columbus module. The primary goal of the Veggie PONDS hardware validation test is to demonstrate plant growth in a newly developed plant growing system, PONDS.

iss055e001536 (March 8, 2018) --- Expedition 55 Commander Anton Shkaplerov eats a piece of lettuce harvested as part of the ongoing space crop study VEG-03. The botany experiment uses the Veggie plant growth facility to cultivate a type of cabbage, lettuce and mizuna which are harvested on-orbit with some samples consumed by astronauts and others returned to Earth for testing.

iss055e019872 (4/12/2018) --- Photographic documentation taken aboard the International Space Station (ISS) during the configuration of the Veggie facility and the installation of twenty APEX-06 petri plates to begin the growth process of the plants. APEX-06 expands the understanding of plant growth in space. Detailed understanding of how different plants grow in space can provide for better life support system design and resource planning for long term space missions.

iss054e022372 (1/20/2018) --- Photo documentation of Arabidopsis seedlings from the Petri Plants-2 experiment in the Destiny U.S. Laboratory aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The Characterizing Arabidopsis Root Attractions-2 (CARA-2) investigation explores the molecular biology guiding the altered growth of plants, specifically roots, in spaceflight.

iss055e019898 (4/12/2018) --- Photographic documentation taken aboard the International Space Station (ISS) during the configuration of the Veggie facility and the installation of twenty APEX-06 petri plates to begin the growth process of the plants. APEX-06 expands the understanding of plant growth in space. Detailed understanding of how different plants grow in space can provide for better life support system design and resource planning for long term space missions.

iss055e002983 (March 18, 2018) --- NASA astronaut Scott Tingle is inside the International Space Station's window to the world, the seven-windowed cupola, where astronauts operate the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture visiting vehicles such as the SpaceX Dragon, the Orbital ATK Cygnus and Japan's H-II Transfer Vehicle.
