Next A MATTER OF FACT Sustainability of manned space travel beyond LEO means gaining autonomy from terrestrial food supplies and producing fresh food, quality vegetables onboard indispensable for astronauts’ health and well being, both physical and psychological, limiting to a great extent volume and resources required. Next A MATTER OF FACT As long as manned space travel takes place in the Earth vicinity fresh food may be provided from Earth at a reasonable cost. Astronauts traveling further away from Earth to operate stations around the Moon or living and working on extraterrestrial soil will need life support systems able to grow vegetables aboard their spacecraft and/or habitation modules on the ground. A MATTER OF FACT Experimental greenhouse cultivation was tested on the International Space Station, lettuce was grown successfully, but food logistics did not change fundamentally. However, should commercial space travel bloom, competition will settle in and accommodations for comfort as in hotels will become a distinctive competitive edge for paying passengers.

Slide A PROBLEM TO SOLVE A PROBLEM
TO SOLVE Operating stations in space and on extraterrestrial soil requires extraordinary optimization of scarce resources such as volume, water and energy. This is the limit today to the sustainable production of quality vegetables in space.

Slide ADAPTABILITY IS THE SOLUTION

 SpaceV can provide a solution to space agrotech based on a multilevel adaptive greenhouse architecture and technology, greatly increasing production capacity in a given volume, saving energy and other onboard resources.

404-Error-Space-Theme SpaceV has acquired this patented technique from its mother company Germina, which has developed multilayer adaptive greenhouses for ground applications in precision farms, in vertical farms and in home cultivators. 404-Error-Space-Theme
These ground applications of the adaptive greenhouse concept show a high growth potential and support our belief that the adaptive multilayer technique can be a game changing innovation in space agrotech, where the environmental conditions are much harsher and the motivations to save mass, volume, energy and water are more demanding.
