Scenario
Tomatosphere is a space research project that is being conducted by students in Canadian schools.
There is a real possibility of a manned space expedition to Mars at some stage in the future. It is highly
likely that astronauts will need to grow their own fresh food on flight. Tomatoes make an ideal crop as they
grow quickly and produce fruit that is healthy and enjoyable to eat
This real life research project is designed to identify the best conditions for the growth of tomatoes and how
well the seeds will survive stored in a space vehicle on a journey to Mars.
In this assignment we will reproduce some of the experiments that are being carried out in by the students
working on the Tomatosphere project in Canada
