Plant 'astronaut'

Xiao Wei, a space "astronaut" who has exhibited seeds, plants, and other items in space, is a super dwarf rice variety. In July 2022, she entered space with the Wentian experimental module and became the world's first rice variety to achieve full cycle cultivation from seed to seed in a microgravity environment. She achieved a yield of 410 kilograms per mu in Hainan. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has become a typical representative of plant research due to its short stature, fast growth, abundant seeds, and simple genome. Space "passenger" soybean seeds These soybean seeds are not ordinary. They are space "passengers" who have completed germplasm resource space breeding experiments aboard the Practice-19 satellite.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.
