Recently, the United States Space Agency (NASA) will launch the second round of space planting projects. This plan will continue NASA's years of experience in using LED lights to grow plants on the International Space Station and promote LED plant lighting planting technology to the moon.
To this end, NASA is working with Space Lab Technology Company in Boulder, Colorado, to jointly develop an indoor growth chamber, similar to a small vertical farm, using LED lights as a light source for astronauts to grow three crops on the moon. It will be an important part of the "Artemis III mission" of the U.S. lunar landing plan.
It is reported that the Artemis III mission will be an important step after humans land on the moon for the first time. The project is expected to be implemented as early as September 2026, when two astronauts will land on the lunar surface to carry out a series of tasks, including assembling a horticultural experimental device called "Lunar Effects on Agricultural Plants (LEAF)".
