PD Vlog | Growing beyond Earth: Inside China's desert farm for space missions

Where do the fresh vegetables for China's astronauts come from? They're grown in a high-tech vertical farm in the barren Badain Jaran Desert at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China. Inside, vegetables like crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes thrive on vertical shelves, untouched by the harsh desert outside. The team uses hydroponics, LED lights and an intelligent control system to create the ideal growing environment. See how this remarkable facility ensures a safe, fresh supply of greens for our astronauts, and even nurtures the dream of growing food in space.
