Shi Jian 8 is a Chinese recoverable scientific satellite.
The satellite is carrying some 2,000 seed of nine different types which will be exposed to microgravity and cosmic rays during the flight. On return, the seeds will be germinated and grown to see if any genetic mutations resulting from exposure to the space environment are beneficial. Earlier experiments with rice and wheat seeds have produced crops with increased yields. Keyword(s) :
