Ma ka lā 17 o Iune, ua hoʻā ʻia a hoʻāla ʻia ka Long March 2 F Yao 12 e lawe ana i ka mokulele mokulele Shenzhou 12 ma ka Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Ma ke ʻano he mea lawe, he 29.9 grams o nā hua orchid Nanjing i lawe ʻia i ka lewa me ʻekolu mau astronauts e hoʻomaka i kahi huakaʻi mokulele ʻekolu mahina.

ʻO nā ʻano orchid e hānai ʻia ma ke ākea i kēia manawa he mauʻu ʻulaʻula, i koho ʻia a hānai ʻia e Fujian Forestry Science and Technology Experimental Center, kahi hui ma lalo o ka Fujian Forestry Bureau.

I kēia manawa, ua hoʻohana nui ʻia ka hoʻoulu ʻana o ka lewa i ka hana hou o ka ʻoihana mahiʻai. ʻO ka hoʻoulu ʻana o ka orchid space ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā hua orchid i koho ʻia i loko o ka lewa, e hoʻohana piha i ka radiation cosmic, kiʻekiʻe vacuum, microgravity a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe e hāpai i nā loli i ke ʻano chromosome o nā kumulāʻau orchid, a laila e hana i ka moʻomeheu ʻiʻo keʻena no ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano orchid. He hoʻokolohua. Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka hoʻohua maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻohua ʻana o ke ākea o ka mutation gene, e kōkua ana i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano orchid hou me ka wā pua lōʻihi, ʻoi aku ka māmā, ʻoi aku ka nui, ʻoi aku ka nani, a me nā pua ʻala.

Ua hana pū ka Fujian Forestry Science and Technology Experiment Center a me ka Flower Research Institute o Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences i ka noiʻi ʻana e pili ana i ka hoʻoulu ʻana o nā orchids Nanjing mai 2016, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka "Tiangong-2" kanaka mokulele, ka Long March 5B carrier rocket, a me ka Shenzhou 12 carrier. I kēia manawa, ua loaʻa ʻia ʻelua laina germination hua orchid.

E hoʻomau ka Fujian Forestry Science and Technology Experiment Center i ka manaʻo hou a me ka ʻenehana o "Space Technology +" e hana i ka noiʻi e pili ana i nā mutations o ka lau orchid lau kala, ka waihoʻoluʻu pua, a me ka ʻala pua, a me ka cloning a me ka loiloi hana o nā genes mutant, a hoʻokumu i kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻololi genetic orchid e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i nā ʻano ʻano Qualitative variation rate, a hoʻoikaika i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana hānau. hoʻohua + hoʻohua ʻenekinia" no nā orchids.
