Ngomhla kaNovemba 27, 2020, usomajukujuku we-NASA kunye ne-Expedition ye-64 yeenjineli zeenqwelomoya uKate Rubins ujonga izityalo zeradish ezikhulayo kulingo lwePlant Habitat-02 efuna ukwandisa ukukhula kwezityalo kwindawo eyodwa yendawo kunye nokuvavanya ukutya kunye nokunambitheka kwezityalo.I-NASA Wamkelekile kwikamva, apho ukutya okukhulayo kwindawo ye-zero-gravity kungasekho into engeyonyani yebuchwepheshe .
Kule veki, oosomajukujuku beNASA bavune isityalo esitsha seradishi kwilebhu encinci kwiSitishi saMazwe ngaMazwe. Injineli yeenqwelomoya ye-NASA uKate Rubins wakhupha izityalo ezingama-20 zeradish kwi-Advanced Plant Habitat (APH) kwaye wazisongela nganye yazo kwiifoyile zokugcina ezibandayo. Baza kuthunyelwa kwakhona eMhlabeni kunyaka olandelayo ukuze baqhubeke nokufunda.
Uvavanyo, olubizwa ngokusemthethweni Indawo yokutyala-02 , lixesha lokuqala iNASA ikhule i-radishes kwi-ISS. Kodwa iarhente yendawo ikhule ngempumelelo ezinye iintlobo ezininzi zemveliso kwilebhu ejikelezayo ngaphambili.
I-APH, apho kwakhula khona ii-radishes, iphuhliswa yi-NASA kunye neMadison, ese-Wisconsin esekwe kwi-Orbital Technologies Corp. Inkqubo yasungulwa ngo-Epreli ka-2017 kwaye yafakwa kwi-rack kwi-ISS 'Japan Experiment Module Kibo. Emva konyaka, ibhetshi encinci yemifuno kunye neArabidopsis , uhlobo lwe-rockcress eneentyatyambo, zavunwa kwigumbi elivalelweyo.
I-APH isebenzisa izibane ze-LED ukulinganisa ukukhanya kwelanga kwaye iqulethe ngaphezu kwe-180 sensors edlulisa ulwazi lwexesha langempela, njengobushushu, umxholo weoksijini kunye namanqanaba okufuma, ukubuyela kwiqela elilawulayo kwiZiko leNdawo yaseKennedy le-NASA eFlorida.
I-NASA ikhethe i-radishes kulingo lwamva nje kuba ziyafana ngokwemfuza kwiArabidopsis kwaye zinomjikelo wokuvuthwa omncinci weentsuku ezingama-27 kuphela.
I-Radishes luhlobo olwahlukileyo lwesityalo xa kuthelekiswa nemifuno enamagqabi apho oosomajukujuku babekhula ngaphambili kwisikhululo sasemajukujukwini, okanye ingqolowa emfutshane esasisityalo sokuqala esikhuliswe kwi-APH, wachaza UNicole Dufour, umphathi wenkqubo ye-APH ye-NASA e-Kennedy Space Centre. Ukukhula koluhlu lwezityalo kusinceda ekuboneni ukuba zeziphi izityalo ezikhula kakuhle kwi-microgravity kwaye zinikezela ngolona hlobo luhle kunye nolungelelwaniso lwesondlo koosomajukujuku kwimishini yexesha elide.

Ngaphandle kwe-APH, zimbini iinkqubo ezinobunkunkqele bokukhula kwezityalo kwi-ISS ebizwa Iiyunithi zeVeggie , yakhiwe kwakhona yiOrbitec. Ezi yunithi zimbini zivelise iindidi zemifuno ukusukela ngo-2014,kubandakanya i-lettuce ebomvu ebomvu noluhlaza, iklabishi yamaTshayina, lwemostade kunye ne-Russian kale.
Kwenye indawo kwi-ISS, izazinzulu ziye zaphumelela nokukhulisa inyama-inyama yokwenyani, hayi iBeyond Meat.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, ukusebenzisana kwezizwe ngezizwe kukhokelwa kukuqalisa kuka-Aleph Farm kwa-Israeli kwavelisa indawo yokuqala yenyama yenkomo kwi-ISS. Zisebenzisa iiseli zeenkomo ezivunwe eMhlabeni, oososayensi bazikhulisile baba zizihlunu ezincinci ngoncedo lwe-3D bioprinter phantsi kweemeko zokuncitshiswa kwemitha.
Ukusukela indawo yokuqala yokuhlala yabantu kwi-ISS Ngo-2000, bonke oosomajukujuku baxhomekeke ikakhulu kukutya okupakishiweyo okusungulwa rhoqo eMhlabeni. Nangona kunjalo, ekubeni ukutya okuhlanganisiweyo ngokuthe ngcembe kuphulukana neevithamini kunye nexabiso lesondlo ekuhambeni kwexesha, akuhambelani nohambo lwendawo enzulu yexesha elizayo kwiNyanga, iMars nangaphaya.
