CTOnews.com, August 24 (Xinhua) according to CCTV, the Shenzhou 16 astronaut crew has recently reaped a bumper harvest through professional space cultivation equipment on the Chinese space station.

At present, China's space station has arranged to implement 110 space science research and application projects in orbit, involving space life science and human body research, microgravity physics and new space technology fields. The original experimental data are close to 100TB, and nearly 300 experimental samples have been carried out. Some projects have achieved phased application results.

According to CCTV, this is the space cultivation device known as the "space vegetable garden." the device is a modular and simple space plant cultivation device designed by researchers at the China Astronaut Research and training Center, with an open structure. Astronauts can have close contact with plants at any time.

From the video point of view, the lettuce planted by our astronauts has been scientifically equipped with light and moisture, and is growing gratifying in the space environment.

According to CTOnews.com data, during the Shenzhou 11 and Shenzhou 14 missions, many astronauts experienced the feeling of being a "space vegetable farmer" and successfully planted lettuce, wheat, rice, and Arabidopsis thaliana. Moreover, the Shenzhou 14 and Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft carried more than 1300 crop seeds, microbial bacteria, and other space breeding materials.

CCTV also mentioned that during the Shenzhou 11 mission, the whole process of sowing, cultivating and harvesting lettuce had been completed, and the Shenzhou 14 astronauts even ate fresh vegetables grown in space on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The future "space vegetable garden" will not only provide astronauts with food, oxygen and water, but also play a role in studying the effects of special environments such as space microgravity on plant growth and development, physiology and biochemistry, officials said.
