Nasa’s Greenhouses for space
Our Friend, Dave Story, sent us this video link. His son, David, is working on this project.
The Prototype Lunar Greenhouse (LGH)
is equipped as a Bioregenerative Life Support System (BLSS) through the design and construction of an innovative hydroponic plant growth chamber. Centered on using plants to sustain a continuous vegetarian diet for astronauts, a typical BLSS employs plants and crop production in addition for food, to also provide air revitalization, water recycling, and waste recycling for the crew. Fulfilling the requirement of NASA’s GES and the late Mr. Steckler’s dream of space colonization, the LGH aims to deliver more than supporting a sustained human presence in space. The LGH aspires to bring practical commercial-ready technology to Earth’s CEA forefront.
