Title: Ames Research Center views of Oats, Slash-Pine and Mung bean seedlings STS-3

Description:

Young oat seedlings are shown in a ground laboratory after being flown into 
space aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia on STS-3 in March of 1982. All 
plants were part of the experimental Plant Growth Unit. They appear to have 
grown to look similar to the control seedlings on earth. A few small roots 
can be seen growing upward from the soil (33915); Young slash-pine
seedlings  are shown upon returning from the STS-3 mission (33916); Mung
bean seedlings  are shown after their return from space aboard the STS-3
(37917).
