Blog Entry One

On 2nd of September 2015, two kilograms of rocket seeds travelled on the Soyuz rocket from Kazakhstan to the International Space Station. The seeds were stored in a microgravity environment by Tim Peake, the first official British astronaut.

These seeds were given out to schools, clubs and Scout groups across the country to be grown and measured. 200 seeds were given out to each one of the 10,000 educational organisations in two packets, a red and a blue. One has been to space and the other has stayed on Earth. We were lucky enough to be given a packet. This blog will show our seeds’ progress through the time that the experiment is running.
