Plant Habitat-03

The final harvest of the Arabidopsis plants is seen inside of NASA's Kennedy Space Center’s Advanced Plant Habitat for the Plant Habitat-03 investigation. For this study, seeds produced in orbit by space-grown plants will be returned to Earth, processed, and flown back to space. These seeds will be grown alongside seeds from Earth-grown plants to help determine whether second generation adaptations continue to build up or stabilize. Image courtesy of Kennedy Space Center.
