DEVICE FOR AUTONOMOUS GROWING OF PLANT MICRO-CLONES IN SPACE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A01G31/02 

FIELD: plant growing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of plant growing, in particular to device for growing of shrubs in space conditions. The device consists of three cubic compartments, on side surfaces of which solar panels are located. In two compartments, a useful load module is located, consisting of a unit for control of plant life-support systems and reception-transmission of data to the Earth. In the third compartment, a chamber for autonomous growth of plants is located, containing two titanium vacuum-sealed cells with a nutrient medium and plant micro-clones. In each vacuum-sealed cell, there are from two to four plants. Plants are fixed in the nutrient medium made based on Murashige and Skoog medium. Each vacuum-sealed cell is equipped with a screw sealed cover, through which the nutrient medium is poured, and plants are sowed, and it has two glass walls for external observation for plant growth, using a photo camera.

EFFECT: provision of a possibility of higher plant growing in space conditions during a long period of time without direct human participation.
