Space Seeds: ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer together with school children plants wildflowers on UN Campus Bonn

What is biodiversity? How do flowers affect us and the environment? And how are they related to spaceflight? For primary school children to be able to investigate these exciting questions, the German Space Agency at DLR sent two kilograms of wildflower seeds to the International Space Station ISS on 29 August 2021.

These 'space seeds' were on the International Space Station (ISS) together with German European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Matthias Maurer during his Cosmic Kiss mission. They landed safely back on Earth on 24 January 2022.

United Nations Workshop on Space-based Technologies for Disaster Risk Reduction

Last year alone, natural disasters struck over 430 times around the globe, wreaking havoc on communities and their livelihoods. In total, these events affected 101.8 million people. More than 10,000 people lost their lives, while the economic damage surpassed $250 billion. Countries globally must become better prepared to deal with these situations by employing the newest solutions, including those enabled by space assets.
