Everything is Logistics

In part two of our NASA series, Blythe speaks with Matthew Mickens, NASA Horticulturalist, about how scientists are tackling the challenges of growing crops in microgravity, from specialized hydroponic systems to light recipe experiments. They also talk about the psychological benefits fresh produce provides for astronauts and how Earth-bound vertical farming draws inspiration from space research.
