China's reusable satellites
China recently took an impressive step in its space race and this time with an achievement that promises to change the rules of the game, China's national space administration announced the successful return of Shijian-19, the country's first reusable and returnable test satellite.

One of the most curious loads transported by the satellite were seeds from the provinces of Hainan and Anhui that were exposed to the extreme conditions of space to induce mutations. This type of experiment can generate more resistant varieties of plants with new characteristics, a field of Promising research that can directly impact agriculture and food production.
