Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla said he “felt proud” to act as a “bridge” between researchers and space, after growing methi and moong seeds on the International Space Station. “It has been great to work in the Glove Box doing this research for them,” he said. The experiment is part of a study on how microgravity affects seed growth. Shukla, who is on the Axiom-4 mission, also clicked photos of the sprouting seeds. These seeds will be studied on Earth for genetic changes. Shukla returns to Earth after July 10, depending on weather near the Florida coast. (PC: Axiom Space)
