Australian Space Discovery Centre
McEwin Building, Lot Fourteen, North Terrace, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia
As humans continue to explore space and go on longer missions, to the Moon and further to Mars, plants will come along with us. Astronauts have been nurturing space gardens on the International Space Station for decades, but we are still finding the best ways to grow plants in space. Plants in space are used for food and research, but they are also playing an important role for astronauts’ well-being and foster a connection to Earth.
What do we need for plants to thrive off-Earth? How can we produce enough food for the astronauts in this new environment and encourage sustainability?
Due to limited space, please only book tickets for participants. Adult caregivers will be counted separately at the door.
