Space tomatoes harvested by UAE astronaut heading back to Earth to boost research – The National
Tomatoes harvested in space by Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi to boost future missions are on a return trip to Earth this weekend.
The dwarf vegetables were grown in December on board the International Space Station's miniature green house.
Dr Al Neyadi has played a key role in the project since his arrival on the ISS in March.
