Microgreens are a class of nutritionally-dense young crop plants which show promise for spaceflight applications. This study investigated the germination and subsequent growth of mustard microgreens in simulated microgravity, under different lighting conditions. Images of seedling growth and the specialized hardware that was developed for this project, along with relevant protocols and lessons learned, are provided in this technical report.
