An out of this world harvest in a small garden in space

1. 0:07Yes good morning effort Wow I'm gonna start getting set up and get some equipment out but uh we'll let you know
2. 0:15we have any questions everything and just a little quick thing as you're me harvesting both veggies approximately
3. 0:23half the leaves from each plant my role during on over harvest is to park the astronauts and helping them out and
4. 0:30think ahead for themselves and saving that valuable crew time and we can help them guide them through the written
5. 0:37procedures and if there's any anomalies that come up we can help them work through that while during real-time ops
6. 0:45again you'll be weighing the leaves once you cut them splitting the leaves up between science and then consumption and
7. 0:52then weighing the leaves that you're gonna consume in MMD so there's plenty of work for both of you to do they're
8. 0:58following a procedure that we write for them to do the activity and it's maybe the first time they've seen that
9. 1:04procedure that's negative we weigh them on the ground but right now particularly for a vigil
10. 1:15for B we're planting the seeds here and then packing them for flights then when the astronauts take out those pillows
11. 1:21from stowage and insert them into the veggie units just add water to it it'll start growing copy all Dru thank you
12. 1:30very much or look at them up hopefully everything's going pretty well it looks good it's a little bit slow get going
13. 1:35until about two weeks in and then at two weeks it picks up growth and we just see
14. 1:39it burst to life and we take it all the way until about four weeks when we do
15. 1:44our first harvest and we cut it back to where we have just these small leaves
16. 1:48left and then it starts all over where it continues to pick up growth and we take that to our next harvest
17. 1:53going into digit walk back in being way to that correct half of them will go
18. 1:59into the foil and then half of them will go into the ziploc she may need to cut
19. 2:06off a couple more on that number six there's a there's a larger right leave
20. 2:09it's like coming right for us yeah she's not she's okay to cut off the medium-sized ones as well
21. 2:18number five I just I don't want her to get so far that then she can't get
22. 2:24samples put back where they need to go in generic containers so the astronauts
23. 2:30will come in and for a cut and come again harvest they will take off the majority of our leaves they'll leave
24. 2:36behind just the smallest youngest leaves to continue growing until we come back
25. 2:40in a couple of weeks to do our next cut and coming in harvest these so we're
26. 2:43looking at how our different nutrients varying across these late treatments because the longer we go through space
27. 2:49the more we're really concentrating on providing high nutrient crops to our astronauts and they're gonna call down
28. 2:55weights from the MMD measurements so they're gonna call down three light weights for each plant male plants yes
29. 3:02so we're you know compare notes to make sure we've heard everything there okay and then the other half of the crops
30. 3:08that they've been harvesting from each pillow they will sanitize on-orbit they weigh them in the mass measurement
31. 3:13device so we actually can find out how much those leaves weigh in microgravity which is a new wonderful tool that we
32. 3:20have then put these plant samples inside a little ziploc bag and then the astronauts will then consume those
33. 3:25leaves as part of a taste test and if they have any left over they can have it with dinner
34. 3:30Kabhi thumbs up and the plants look great Jessica good job this year our final harvest four bedroom four B is on
35. 3:37Thanksgiving so the astronauts will be enjoying the food they're away from their families we'll be in here
36. 3:43supporting them away from our families so it's a it's a little bit of a if you
37. 3:47will a NASA space family having you know harvesting a part of their meal together they look really good
38. 3:56this is the best one we've had
39. 4:08you
