NASA is considering adding a small greenhouse to its next Mars rover mission, scheduled to land on Mars in 2021. The experiment would test how Earth plants would do under Martian conditions that involve high radiation levels and only about 40 percent of Earth normal gravity.
The experiment would be the first step towards the huge greenhouses necessary to provide food and oxygen for the human colonization of Mars.
