Already the agency has spent years studying plant growth in microgravity on the International Space Station. The plant growth chamber builds on nearly 10 years of NASA-supported tech development at Space Lab. Since then, the biofarming tech startup, which has an office in Paris and at the Kennedy Space Center, has developed smaller autonomous closed-loop systems to grow plants in space. Throughout four missions over three years, astronauts will bring compartments with different seeds and crops for the plant growth chamber. Next, Interstellar Lab will attempt to grow a rose in a mini greenhouse on the moon before it moves to crops.
