Aboard China’s Shenzhou 16 mission, astronauts have been engaged in an intriguing experiment involving the cultivation of vegetables on the Tiangong space station.

This initiative forms a crucial part of their preparations for future deep space exploration.

The mission, under the command of Jing Haipeng, along with novice astronauts Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao, has been in residence on Tiangong since late May.

They are scheduled to conclude their mission on October 31, after transferring control of the station to the newly arrived Shenzhou 17 mission team, Space.com reported.
