ISS Experiment Shows Moss Spores Can Survive Harsh Space Environment
A hardy moss species survived 283 days on the outside of the ISS, enduring vacuum, radiation and extreme temperatures. More than 80% of its spores lived and germinated back on Earth. The findings reveal surprising resilience in early land plants and may support future Moon and Mars ecosystem designs.

NASA-ISRO Launch Joint Space Biology Experiments on Axiom Mission 4
NASA and ISRO are launching a series of innovative biological and technological experiments aboard Axiom Mission 4, targeting a June 10 liftoff. Investigations will explore muscle cell health, seed germination, algae growth, and the survival of tardigrades in space. They will also study astronaut interactions with electronic displays. These microgr...

ISRO Cowpea Seeds Successfully Germinate in Space: Everything You Need to Know
ISRO marked a significant achievement with the successful germination of cowpea seeds in space, conducted as part of the CROPS experiment by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC). Launched aboard the PSLV-C60 POEM-4 platform, the experiment aimed to study plant growth in microgravity, a key factor for future space missions. The seeds sprouted wit...

In A First, Life Sprouts On ISRO's Space Lab
In a first for India, life has sprouted on a craft sent into space by the country. Cowpea seeds sent on the PS4-Orbital Experiment Module (POEM) or the Bharatiya Space Labhave germinated in the near zero-gravity and enclosed surroundings of space.

ISRO To Study How Crops Grow In Space On PSLV C60 Mission
Demonstration of seed germination in outer space, a robotic arm to catch a tethered debris there, and testing of green propulsion systems are some of the experiments planned on the POEM-4 -- the fourth stage of ISRO's PSLV rocket.
