SVET (Russian: свет, "light") was a plant cultivation unit on the Kristall module of the Mir space station. It was installed in 1990 and operated until 2001.[1] Brassica rapa was successfully grown there in 1997.[2][3]

The project was a joint Russian-Bulgarian one, developed at the Space Research and Technology Institute in Sofia.[4]
