AeroGrow Technology Launched on NASA Space Shuttle

AeroGrow International, Inc. (NASDAQ: AERO) ("AeroGrow" or the "Company"), makers of the AeroGarden® kitchen garden appliance, announced that the NASA space shuttle Endeavour, launched yesterday from Cape Kennedy, Florida, is carrying an experiment using AeroGrow's proprietary Seed Pod technology. This experiment is intended to advance the science of growing food during long-term space expeditions and may further the development of heartier varieties of tomato plants for farmers and gardeners on earth.

The experiment was designed and built by BioServe Space Technologies , a non-profit, NASA-sponsored Research Partnership Center located at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The NASA space shuttle is carrying a set of experiments to the International Space Station in an educational effort involving thousands of K-12 students around the world. AeroGrow's Seed Pods are being used to study the growth and development of tomato plants in space which will be compared with similar experiments being conducted in K-12 classrooms, involving as many as 15,000 students and teachers.

"AeroGrow is proud that the technologies that make our garden so simple and easy to use are being tested for growing fresh food in space as well," said Michael Bissonnette, Founder and CEO of AeroGrow. "We're thrilled to contribute to the education of so many students and are looking forward to introducing the AeroGarden in classrooms and educational environments around the world."
