An update on the world’s first cultural crop payload!

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 docked with the International Space Station on August 2, and the seeds had a brief stay in space, during which ISS astronauts photographed them.

Then on August 9, the seeds returned safely to Earth along with Crew-10. JaguarSpace LLC CEO Luis Zea packaged them up for study after retrieving them from NASA.

Special thanks to SETI Affiliate NellyBenHayoun, who contributed Armenian pomegranate seeds to the payload, and SETI Institute scientists astro sgro and allplanets, who helped prepare the sample for spaceflight. Now the analysis can begin!
