The Australian Lunar Experiment Promoting Horticulture (or ALEPH) mission, which will involve a number of firsts in space travel history, will place a carefully selected set of seeds and plants on the Moon. Once on the lunar surface, we aim to show plant growth within the first 3 days of landing. The motivation for such a mission comes from humanity’s passion to explore and see life thrive in barren landscapes. We see the ALEPH payload as the first step towards our eventual goal of providing plants for food, medicine, oxygen production and general wellbeing for future astronauts living on the Moon and beyond. One Giant Leap Australia is part of this incredible consortium and is providing a free workshop for students to learn about this initiative at RMIT University.

In this episode we learn more about Invertigro's incredible hydroponic system which will be used in this exciting mission.
