China grows 14 plant species in space

China has successfully cultivated 14 types of plants aboard the Tianqiong Space Station, with more than 20 plant varieties covering these types grown in orbit. This includes crops such as lettuce, carrots, sunflowers, potatoes, and wheat, utilizing a controlled ecological life support system that enables independent recycling of water, air, and food, thereby reducing reliance on supplies from Earth. The goal of this achievement is to establish a sustainable ecological system to support long-term human habitation in space, with plans to build a "Moon Vegetable Garden" as the lunar exploration program progresses. As continuous crew presence in orbit has become a reality, China is preparing for a lunar landing mission scheduled for 2030.
