The First Time Chili Is Grown On The Iss International Space Station

NASA fine airports, said the astronauts of green chili and red peppers in space are one of the longest and most challenging plant experiments performed on orbit laboratory. Has been taken to the International Space Station from the end of the 6th in a Mission of SPACEX.Shane Kimbrough's commercial service, astronauts of NASA, an engineer who participated in the red lettuce planting project in space In 2016, it was an experimental initiator by bringing 48 seeds to the outer space planting system named Advanced Plant Habitat APH on 12 July. The astronaut grown on the ISS International Space Station . A group with technology programs and exploration studies of the Kennedy Space Center has sown those seeds into a device called science carrier, placed in APH, one of three plant development chambers in the orbital laboratory where the astronauts are cultivated

. With a size of about a kitchen oven, APH is a broadcast The largest plant on the ISS International Space Station. Owning 180 sensors and controls for monitoring, the system allows for experimental control from the Kennedy Space Center. Therefore, the astronauts may not need to take a long time to take care of the plant
Representative of the US Aerospace Agency NASA said: "This is the first time the astronauts plant chili plants on the crop station cylinders, since sowing seeds until maturity ".matt Romeyn, the main investigator said it was one of the most complex plant experiments on the ISS International Space Station because of germination and playback time Stretched. Before we tested flowering to increase the opportunity to harvest successfully because the astronauts will have to pollinate chili to develop success. In 2015, the astronauts began to plant one Plant species belong to the Five Five Chrysanthematum, NASA called the precursor to planting flowering plants, with fruits in the future. The chili planting experiment conducted after the astronaut tried to plant some other categories. The researchers spent two years to evaluate more than two dozen pepper breeds and eventually found a suitable breed as a pepper variety Hatch from New Mexico.If successful, this experiment will provide, enrich the menu of astronauts. Earlier, they had harvested vegetables like lettuce, radish on Space Station.Matt Romeyn said, crew members like spicy food or richer spices because they can temporarily suffer Loss of taste, smell after a long time living in a non-gravity environment. After about 3
5 months, astronauts can harvest chili. As expected, they will retain part to eat and the rest sent to Earth for research analysis.
