The first plant grown in space was Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard. It was grown on the International Space Station in 2002 as part of an experiment to study plant growth in microgravity.
First of all, the international space station was not launched. The first part was launched but all the other parts of the iss were put on by astronauts in space shuttle missions the construction began in 1998. By 2000 people were able to live on the iss. As they lived they attached parts. The construction was complete in 2011. Soo yeah it was not really launched. I hope I helped:)
