It is a simplified experiment program that is ideal for introducing beginners to the “Kibo” experiments. The design of the experiment minimises expense, resources and saves time. In the AHiS experiment, sweet basil and holy basil are grown in the International Space Station (ISS) for one month. After growing the basil plants on the ISS, the experiment will be returned to Earth and undergo detailed investigations such as morphological, scent and gene expression analysis.
