The Spacefood mission
Fueling space explorers & Earth innovators
Like the 34% of people who dream of going on a space tour, we share that aspiration. The vastness of space beckons, but it also presents significant challenges. We understand that for space exploration to advance further, addressing the critical issue of sustainability.
As humanity's aspirations extend to new celestial domains, ensuring a sustainable and varied food supply becomes increasingly crucial. While advancements in recycling water and air on space missions have been made, food remains the main limiting factor in mission duration and distance.
In space, the usual conveniences of Earth – like a quick trip to a store around the corner or regular waste collection trucks – are non-existent. This reality makes traditional food supply methods impractical.
- Nutrition: Creating nutrient-rich, travel-efficient food to sustain long missions.
- Storage: Innovating ways to keep food safe and appetizing in extreme conditions.
- Waste: Developing sustainable practices to minimize and repurpose food waste.
Equally important is our dedication to addressing nutritional challenges here on Earth, ensuring that our solutions are effective in a variety of demanding environments.
