Sometimes historical research is annoying. I found a reference to experiments on tomato seeds that had been stored on the Mir space station for 6 years.
I have found the results of those experiments. I have found out which spacecraft took them to Mir, and which one brought them home.
I have found out that of the "agricultural seeds" involved, only the wheat and tomato survived the experience.
But can I find out which other seeds they sent? No, I cannot. 🤯
That's the Russians for you, of course. If it had been NASA there would be newspaper articles and photos.
@OrbitalGardens More importantly, was that research published?
@davoloid It was. There are a handful of papers. This is probably the main one.
