New NASA Contest Seeks Way to Grow a Space Garden

Space Garden

NASA needs your help figuring out how to grow gardens and crops in outer space.

To that end, the space agency’s so-called “Growing Beyond Earth” contest is now open for submissions. The challenge is to come up with a design for a “3D growing space” that fits within a 50-centimeter cube and can help supply astronauts on future missions into space with fresh fruits and vegetables.
