Global Efforts Unite to Cultivate Plants on the Moon

The LEAF project, part of NASA's Artemis III mission, aims to study plant growth on the Moon by 2028. Developed by Space Lab, the project will test the effects of lunar gravity, radiation, and light on three plant types in a controlled environment at the Moon's south pole. This initiative follows China's Chang'e 4 mission, which faced challenges with lunar night temperatures. LEAF's findings could inform future lunar agriculture efforts.
