A total of 17,346 Rooibos seeds are set to travel to the US ahead of a planned mission to the International Space Station (ISS), where they will be exposed to microgravity and space radiation. The experiment will investigate how the uniquely South African plant responds to space conditions, with the seeds expected to return to Earth for further testing in schools.
