Australian researchers from @Plants4Space have been selected to be part of efforts to grow plants on the Moon for NASA’s Artemis III mission. 🌱🌙 They’re not the only Aussies innovating in this space. Explore: bit.ly/3TKh9i5

🚀We're headed to the moon! Together with Space Lab Tech, LLC (lead), Uni of Adelaide, NASA's Kennedy Space Center, & @Plants4Space, we're developing one of 3 science instruments for deployment on the moon’s surface on the NASA Artemis III 2026 mission! Learn more here: latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/…

ARC-funded scientists at @Plants4Space are conducting critical research needed to grow plants in space, assisting NASA’s Artemis III mission and leading the way for sustained lunar exploration. Read more: adelaide.edu.au/newsroom/news/… @uniofadelaide La Trobe University
