Last week we join in the National Challenge with #fairchildchallenge creating 2 mission patches highlighting this incredible milestone of the VEG-05 research. The interstellar Red Robin tomato is ready to take off and help our astronauts with a healthier and tastier diet🍅🚀

A few weeks ago we harvested for our @GrowBeyondEarth Misome plants. They were edible and delicious! After measuring and weighing we prepared a Salad Bar to celebrate. Now we're analyzing data to find out the best growth using the least light energy and water! @FairchildChall

Another successful teacher workshop for the Leaves are cool! citizen science program. Thank you to the @FairchildChall team and to our guest speaker @kjfeeley @junglebiology We are looking forward seeing @MDCPS students collecting data for our research!
