ISRO has announced the successful completion of its CROPS experiment in space. The Indian space agency recently announced the delay in the SpaDeX docking experiment and rescheduled it from January 7 (tomorrow) to January 9, 2025. Indian Space Research Organisation recently updated that as a part of VSSC's CROPS experiment, it germinated cowpea seeds (also known as Barboti, labia or chawl) in space. The experiment was conducted aboard the ISRO's PSVL-60 POEM 4 platform and aimed at understanding the growth of plants in microgravity environments. This breakthrough could pave the way for future long-duration space missions, including the possibility of growing food in space. ISRO SpaDeX Mission: Indian Space Agency Postpones SpaDeX Docking Experiment to January 9, 2025.
