  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).
