Plants And Life In Space
As humans continue to explore new frontiers, especially in space, the role of plants becomes even more crucial. Researchers are working hard to learn how to grow plants in an inhospitable environment like space.
Ecosystems Beyond Earth
Students learn about the need for future space settlements to grow their own food. They examine the flow of matter and energy in space ecosystems and the need for biosecurity systems to prevent the introduction of new species.
