APH had its first test run on the space station in Spring 2018 using Arabidopsis thaliana (the “white mouse of the plant research world”) and dwarf wheat. The time-lapse video of this was a popular social media release from the space station worldwide.

The other pattern is certain genes associated with the immune system turn on and others switch off in space. Scientists suspect this may compromise that plants’ ability to fight off infections. The Biological Research in Canisters (BRIC) is a facility used to study the effects of space on organisms small enough to grow in petri dishes, such as yeast and microbes. BRIC-LED is the latest version, which added light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to support biology such as plants, mosses, algae and cyanobacteria that need light to make their food. Then I should mention the cooling of this pillow, it's just superb. Finding a pillow that kept me from sweating while sleeping on my side was very hard. some pillows even got the comfort right but never the cooling. Sure they all are cool at first then the cover material turns into a furnace as soon as I sleep on the pillow for more than 5 minutes. This one actually stays cool for the night, a feature I had no idea could be possible. I simply thought all pillows will eventually turn warm and need to be turned during the night. Brian Onate, former Veggie project manager, helped shepherd the plant growth system from initiating the build of the flight units in 2012 to just a couple of months before its delivery to the space station.This pillow is also very cool which is another problem I usually have with other pillows. Another thing to note is that I and my husband are two very different sleepers and we both love this pillow. I highly recommend this pillow! Thank you. The Vegetable Production System, known as Veggie, is a space garden residing on the space station. Veggie’s purpose is to help NASA study plant growth in microgravity, while adding fresh food to the astronauts’ diet and enhancing happiness and well-being on the orbiting laboratory. The Veggie garden is about the size of a carry-on piece of luggage and typically holds six plants. Each plant grows in a “pillow” filled with a clay-based growth media and fertilizer. The pillows are important to help distribute water, nutrients and air in a healthy balance around the roots. Otherwise, the roots would either drown in water or be engulfed by air because of the way fluids in space tend to form bubbles. One of the plant experiment’s goals is to verify the Veggie hardware is working correctly. Another goal is to establish that the space lettuce is safe to eat. Dufour said she hopes Veggie serves as a regular facility the crew uses to grow food crops. Dufour is an engineer in the Flight Mechanisms and Flight Crew Systems Branch of the Engineering and Technology Directorate.

Veggie could be used as a modular plant chamber for a variety of plants that grow up rather than in the ground,” said Gerard Newsham, the Veggie payload support specialist with Jacobs Technology on the Test and Operations Support Contract. “This is just the beginning.”I waited a little while to write this review. Believe me when I tell you the saying "happy wife happy life" is completely true! I'm currently sleeping on their mattress while also using their blanket. I had their body pillow when I was pregnant and it was quite useful, to be honest.
