jsc2024e016235 (10/19/2022) --- The Vegetable Production System (Veggie) is used to grow Brachypodium and Setaria in the International Space Station and on Earth at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. C4 Photosynthesis in Space (C4 Space) (APEX-09) observes two plant species with differing mechanisms for capturing CO2 during photosynthesis. Researchers aim to uncover changes that occur in plant metabolism when they are exposed to microgravity, which could improve planning for bio-regenerative support systems on deep exploration missions.
