ISRO Successfully Sprouts Cowpea Seeds in Space

ISRO has achieved a significant milestone in space research with the successful germination of cowpea seeds during the PSLV-C60 mission, advancing agricultural science in microgravity. The Compact Research Module for Orbital Plant Studies (CROPS) sprouted seeds within four days, supported by the PS4-Orbital Experiment Module (POEM), which enables advanced experiment capabilities in orbit. These efforts are crucial for developing sustainable food solutions for long-term space missions. Such advancements, alongside innovations in satellite and robotic technologies, place India at the forefront of space exploration, paving the way for potential extraterrestrial colonization.
