Summary

Description

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Administrator Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young (seen), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Astronaut Cady Coleman, and NASA Space Life and Physical Sciences Research and Applications Division Director Dr. Marshall Porterfield speak with adult and children audience members about "How USDA and NASA Work Together" at an event in The People's Garden, outside the USDA's Whitten Building on the National Mall in Washington, DC., on Monday, October 5, 2015. Following the talks, they formed a panel for questions. Then Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden and NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman will sign a new interagency agreement expanding USDA and NASA's commitment to promoting careers in science, technology, engineering, agriculture and math to young people. During the event, Harden and Newman will join area FFA and 4-H members to plant the sister seeds to lettuce grown on the International Space Station.

The Lactuca sativa “Outredgeous Red Romaine Lettuce” seeds are from the same lot and bag as those flown to the International Space Station on the CRS-3 mission inside SpaceX’s dragon capsule launched April 18, 2014. The first crop was grown and harvested in 33 days, then sent to NASA Scientists at Kennedy Space Center for analysis. The second crop of lettuce was initiated in Veggie on July 8, 2015 by NASA’s one-year astronaut, Scott Kelly. After 33 days of care by Kjell Lindgren and Scott Kelly, the space plants were harvested and eaten. The seeds that produced the plants, which the astronauts ate, came from the same bag.
