Game that lets you grow plants on ISS!
U.S. space agency NASA has launched a mobile game that allows gamers
to grow virtual plants aboard the International Space Station.
Named “Space Science Investigations: Plant Growth,” the 200MB game takes a player on the ISS, where it meets the crew, gather items, float around and grow plants, tech website slashgear reported on Tuesday. Players first need to learn how to get around in zero-gravity environment and then complete the mission to grow the plants.
NASA
has long worked at perfecting the art of growing plants in a low
gravity environment, something considered necessary for providing food
during long-duration flights. The astronauts have had some success such
as growing bright zinnias on the space station.
Last year, a Hollywood movie The Martian showed a character who improvised a farm inside a space station on Mars, utilised Martian soil that was fertilised with human waste, produced water by extracting hydrogen from leftover rocket fuel and grew potatoes on the station.IANS
