Eu:CROPIS – satellite greenhouses
In 2016, the satellite Eu:CROPIS will transport two small 'greenhouses' contained in a pressure vessel into a microgravity environment. The satellite rotates at different speeds around its longitudinal axis to simulate environments such as Mars or the Moon, and hence will produce different amounts of gravity over the course of its 12-month mission.
