New Seed Project is “Out of This World”
China has announced plans for an experimental plant breeding station in space. The satellite lab will be stationed 200 to 400 km away from the earth, where seeds will be exposed to cosmic radiation, micro-gravity, high vacuum, alternating magnetic field and other factors that could cause mutations, which might result in new useful plants.
Link: China to launch 1st “seed satellite” a very brief article from China View. Hopefully we will hear more about this project in the future.
