Astronauts Relish Fresh Fruit Delivery on ISS

Rare treat of fresh fruit brought by Russian cargo spacecraft delights crew in microgravity

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick shared a video of himself enjoying an orange slice in zero gravity.
The fresh fruit was part of nearly three tons of supplies delivered by the Russian Progress cargo spacecraft.
Astronauts aboard the ISS typically rely on processed and packaged food for their meals.
Growing food in microgravity is a key research focus for long-term space missions.
The Progress spacecraft will stay docked at the ISS for six months before being filled with waste and sent to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
