iss060e004259 (July 5, 2019) --- Leafy greens are pictured growing inside the Columbus laboratory module's VEGGIE botany research facility. The VEG-04 botany study is exploring the viability of growing fresh food in space to support astronauts on long-term missions. The salad-type plants are harvested after 28 days of growth, with some samples stowed for analysis and the rest taste-tested by the crew aboard the International Space Station.
