Hundreds of grape seeds from Texas are being sent to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of a research project. The initiative aims to study the effects of cosmic radiation on grapevines, potentially paving the way for the creation of the world’s first wine made with space-travelled grapes.
The project will see hundreds of grape seeds launched from Texas to the ISS. Researchers are focused on understanding how cosmic radiation impacts these seeds during their time in space.
The ultimate goal is ambitious: to produce a unique vintage using descendants of these space-exposed grape seeds. This could result in what is being touted as the world’s first wine made from grapes that have journeyed through space, according to drinks_business.
