The space radiation biology exposure experiment will run for five months in orbit and use nanocarbon, actinomycetes, and plant seeds as experimental samples.
The Shenzhou-23 experiment plan includes studies of zebrafish embryos, mice, stem cell-derived artificial human embryos, crop seeds, biocatalytic materials, microbial samples, experimental lunar fibers, and thin flexible solar cells.
Tianzhou-10 delivered a greenhouse gas monitoring instrument, zebrafish embryos, mice embryos, stem cell-derived artificial human embryos, crop seeds, biocatalytic materials, microbial samples, experimental lunar fibers, and thin flexible solar cells for Shenzhou-23.
The "Grape Seeds in Space" experiment will be led by principal investigator Dr. Justin Sheiner of the Department of Horticulture Sciences to examine how microgravity and space conditions influence grape seed biology.
The spacecraft transported samples of Chinese rose seeds that spent 300 seconds in space, where they were exposed to cosmic radiation that can cause genetic mutations.
Upon returning to Earth, scientists will cultivate the rose seeds to develop new high-quality rose varieties and create a space aerospace germplasm bank for roses.
In addition to the rose seeds, the payload also included laser additive manufacturing equipment in microgravity developed by the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The PH-1 mission also carried rose seeds that had previously been exposed to spaceflight, supporting ongoing space-based plant breeding efforts.
Lihong-1 carried multiple payloads, including a demonstration of laser-additive manufacturing and rose seeds exposed to space radiation.
Microbes, seeds, simple food sources, and animals could be kept in a protected state during long space journeys and later returned to full activity.
Armenia and Egypt will contribute seeds to Jaguar Space’s bioastronautics payload for the ISS aboard NASA’s Crew-11 mission on 31 July 2025.
USSF-52 will carry an unclassified experiment called NASA’s Seeds-2 project to test the effects of radiation and long-duration spaceflight on plant seeds.
NASA’s Seeds-2 experiment on USSF-52 is an unclassified project that will test the effects of radiation and long-duration spaceflight on plant seeds.

USSF-52 includes an unclassified experiment, NASA’s Seeds-2 project, to test the effects of radiation and long-duration spaceflight on plant seeds.
USSF-52 will carry an unclassified experiment, NASA’s Seeds-2 project, to test the effects of radiation and long-duration spaceflight on plant seeds.
PH-03 will create a second generation of plants using seeds previously produced in space and returned to Earth.
Mast addresses inadequate supply of tree seeds and seedlings through its acquisition of Cal Forest Nurseries.
Mast plans to grow its reforestation project pipeline to support more fire-impacted communities with its supply of seeds and seedlings.
The XAG P100 Agricultural Drone can spray pesticides, spread fertilizers, and broadcast seeds.
