Growing plants in space
Hello
I am looking for information about greenhouse experiments in space. I have found lots of information on the NASA web, but mostly useless (at least in relation with what I am looking for). I would like to know what is today's "state of the art" in growing plants in microgravity (or also in low atmospheric pressure). I have some info (not very much, anyway) on the experiments carried out in Salyuts and Mir, the problems found and the fixes tried, but I haven't found almost anything about improvements made in ISS; only descriptions of the hardware and experiments, and grandilocuent words about the possibilities for the future... but no analysis of results, no conclusions, no new problems found and what is being investigated in order to solve them... In short, I would like to know where we are know in this matter, since it seems to me that not very much has been achieved in the last 20 years. Does anybody know where can I find some useful information about this? I don't look for very technical information, just medium level, "popular science". Thank you very much Regards, Javier Casado Madrid, Spain http://es.geocities.com/fjcasadop |
