New Delhi: How crops grow in space. ISRO will find out about this. Demonstration of seed germination in outer space, testing of a robotic arm to capture debris and green propulsion system are some of the experiments planned for POEM-4, the fourth stage of ISRO's PSLV rocket.
PSLV-C60 mission to be launched by the end of the year India to demonstrate seed germination in space Testing a robotic arm and green propulsion system to capture debris ISRO's PSLV rocket's fourth stage POEM-4 Some of the experiments planned related to the launch will include two satellites, Chaser and Target, to launch critical space docking technologies for the construction of the space station.

ISRO will conduct 24 experiments
The PSLV Orbital Experiment Module (POEM) will carry 24 experiments using different technologies in space. Of these, 14 experiments are related to several laboratories of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and 10 experiments are related to private universities and 'start-ups'.
eight seed growing plan
ISRO has conducted experiments from seed germination and plant nutrition to the two-leaf stage in a closed box-like environment with active thermal control as part of the Compact Research Module for Orbital Plant Studies (CROPS) developed by Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC). It is planned to grow eight seeds of cowpea.
APEMS study plan
There is a plan to study the growth of spinach in microgravity environment under the Amity Space Plant Experiment Module (APEMS) developed by Amity University Mumbai. The Debris Capture Robotic Manipulator developed by VSSC will demonstrate the capture of debris tied to a robotic manipulator in the space environment.
