Back from Space, Wine and Wine Researched by French Scientists, this is the result page all

KOMPAS.com- Back from the station Outer Space International (ISS), capsules SpaceX also brought a number of objects to study, one of which was a number of pieces of fruit Grape and a few bottles wine origin France.

Upon their return to Earth, French scientists then studied a dozen bottles of French wine and hundreds of fragments of the vine that returned to Earth after a year on outer space.

One of France’s well-known wine brands, Chateau Petrus Pomerol, was shipped to the ISS in November 2019 on a space logistics supply ship, Northrop Grumman.

SpaceX also launched 320 pieces of merlot grapes and cabernet sauvignon grapes in March last year into space. The Independent, Sunday (28/3/2021).

This logistics then returns to Earth in January 2021 by boarding the SpaceX Dragon capsule.

Jane Anson, a wine expert and author of The Decanter, says that the wines that survive on Earth taste ‘a little younger than those that have been to outer space’.

Experiment with the delivery of foodstuffs into space, is one of the missions to study plants on Earth can be more resistant to climate change.

In addition, by sending grapes and wines to the ISS, these French scientists hope to understand the aging and fermentation processes of grapes returning from space mission.

The CEO and co-founder of Space Cargo Unlimited, Nicolas Gaume said that the wine that was taken to space tasted even more different.

In an environment without gravity, this condition has changed the color of the wine.

“It’s brick red. A little different. And the taste itself makes it unique. Some plums were revealed, probably like the old version of Earth wine, but also in a different way,” said Gaume.

Plant resilience to climate change

The main purpose of the experiment is agricultural science, said Gaume.

This experiment is expected to solve a solution on how the condition of organic agriculture in the future can still be able to supply food for humans.

“And we think outer space has the key,” Gaume told the AP.

Agricultural products, such as grapes, must be better able to adapt to environmental conditions that are increasingly harsh due to climate change.

Gaume explained the theory behind the mission was that plants sent into space, such as grapes, would find natural evolution to have better resistance to lower stresses than the absence of gravity, and the stresses associated with climate change.
