Getting H2O aboard ship to irrigate crops & sustain astronauts is expensive, as every pound carried to space requires fuel. ARS helped develop a water recycling system based on ag waste. Now 95% of wastewater is recycled into drinking water. ➡️https://t.co/vhUA3MGCkI #AgInSpace

According to Chris Dardick, lead scientist and plant molecular biologist at the ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station, there has been promising research on vegetable farming in space because they grow relatively quickly, but fruit…? More here➡️https://t.co/is2pmgLRTK #AgInSpace
Hyperspectral imagery is not limited to long-term space voyages; there are examples here on🌎 Since the late 1990s, the ARS Instrumentation and Sensing Lab, pioneered a benchtop line-scan system for hyperspectral imaging of food and ag products. https://t.co/rEUZaPj8Yx #AgInSpace
There have been decades of research collaborations between ARS & NASA, such as light spectral effects on crops in the late 80s, optimizing plant productivity in 1991 & food safety research w/ hydroponic crops in the mid-90s, to name a few. More➡️https://t.co/lS97VBUaO3 #AgInSpace
Researchers @USDA_ARS and @NASA are developing a hi-tech imaging system called hyperspectral imagery, so astronauts can monitor the fresh foods they will farm on extended space voyages. Read about this new & innovative machine vision technology https://t.co/rEUZaPj8Yx #AgInSpace
The sky's the limit. Not so, there have been many advancements in space exploration. Stay-connected and keep following to find out more about how ARS and NASA are growing food in space for long-term missions. #AgInSpace
Did you know? Entomopathogenic nematodes were recently sent to live on the International @Space_Station to study their ability to function under microgravity conditions. Discover more here: https://t.co/dSH1eoPtJQ #AgInSpace 🚀
ARS scientists found that an airborne fungus that speeds up plant growth may be the key to farming in space. The fungus produces gasses, known as volatiles, that dramatically accelerate plant growth. Discover more about it here: https://t.co/UfjntvohKN #AgInSpace
“Space ag will be important in the future, such as during long space flights or in space colonization. This was the first experiment involving natural control of insects in space." - ARS research entomologist David Shapiro-Ilan

Captains log…(crunch crunch). Sorry munching on some fresh greens. #AgInSpace
Researchers at ARS’s Southeastern Fruit & Tree Nut Research Station, Byron, GA, teamed w/ @Pheronym to send insect-killing nematodes (small round worms) to the @Space_Station to study how they function under microgravity conditions, @ISS_CASIS https://t.co/dSH1ep74Bo #AgInSpace
One small step for man, one giant leap for agriculture. #AgInSpace
Wondering what crops are ideal for growing in space? At the top of the list are low growing and high yielding crops. Also, those where a large percentage of the plant is eaten/used. Read more in ARS Under the Microscope https://t.co/lS97VBUaO3 #AgInSpace
