The happy astronauts<\/a> were pictured with fruits and vegetables, including apples, onions and peppers, floating in microgravity.<\/p>\n

NASA’s Jessica Meir<\/a> commented on Tuesday, April 21: “In addition to science, cargo vehicles also may deliver fresh fruit and vegetables to the Space Station. This is always a welcome change from our dehydrated and preserved food and is a huge morale boost, bringing smiles all around.”<\/p>\n

ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot said: “I love these moments when the whole crew comes together around an event like this. Welcoming a cargo vehicle is such a special experience: you know you\u2019ll be receiving care packages from teams and families, along with a wealth of scientific experiments \u2013 and maybe even some fresh fruit too.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Astronauts celebrate the arrival of fresh food aboard the nternational Space Station.
