NASA Releases Picture of Missing Tomato Found Almost a Year Later on International Space Station
Washington: NASA has provided the latest update on the disappearance of a tomato from the International Space Station, which astronauts have dubbed one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The tomato, which was part of an experiment to grow vegetables in space, was found almost a year after it went missing.
American astronaut Frank Rubio, who holds the record for a 370-day space flight, grew tomato plants in the station in March as part of an experiment to grow vegetables and other things in space for future long-duration missions. The footage of this tomato harvest was released by NASA’s research department, but the tomatoes that were harvested that day and kept in zip-lock covers were missing.
After searching for the tomatoes for a day but with no results, Frank Rubio was sure they were lost. Tomatoes of the Red Robin variety were cultivated. However, after eight months, the missing tomatoes were discovered sitting in a zip-locked cover in unused condition. Jasmine Mogbeli, another astronaut, explained the discovery of the tomatoes a few days ago, but the pictures of the tomatoes that were picked are coming out now.
Rubio explained that the missing tomatoes on the International Space Station, which is the size of six bedrooms, may have accidentally ended up in the trash and dried out before returning to Earth. He responded in October that he hoped that someday someone would find it and that some crumpled up stuff in a Ziploc bag would prove to them that I didn’t eat tomatoes in space.
The discovery of the missing tomatoes has brought an end to one of the greatest mysteries on the International Space Station. The tomato, which was lost for almost a year, has been found, much to the relief of NASA and the astronauts on the space station.
