Native American Seeds Flown Aboard Space Station

Five varieties of seeds provided by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma were pictured inside the cupola on Nov. 21, 2023, as the International Space Station orbited 260 miles above the Atlantic Ocean.

The space botany experiment is promoting STEM education among tribal members.
