SpaceV is committed to study and design equipment to effectively cultivate plants in orbital stations and in future Moon and Mars settlements.
Astronauts’ survival for long periods of time in space requires them to become autonomous from Earth’s supplies through maximum exploitation of the limited resources available in situ and the adoption of new technologies.
SpaceV’s contribution to life support systems in space is based on its patented adaptive multilevel greenhouse.
This area of space research, where biology and robotics work together, is expanding and is a source of continuous innovation.

SpaceV's short term goal is to study, develop and test an adaptive greenhouse payload in orbit.
SpaceV's innovative contributions to life support systems in space hinge around the Adaptive Feature of its greenhouse architecture. Its agrotech system will provide astronauts with locally grown food and oxygen.
Plants require a variable cultivation volume from seeding to harvesting. Great savings in energy, occupancy, and water consumption can be achieved with SpaceV multilayer adaptive smart greenhouse technology.
The multilevel adaptive greenhouse technology was developed by Germina – SpaceV’s mother company – for ground applications in precision farms, vertical farms and home cultivators. SpaceV has acquired this technique and transferred it to the space environment where the ambient conditions are far harsher than on Earth and the imperatives to save mass, volume, energy and water are ever more evident.
From this constraint in space comes an opportunity for Earth to rise to the challenge of potentially defeating world hunger.

THE SPACE CHALLENGE LEADS TO SOLUTIONS FOR PLANET EARTH
From space we gain inspiration, vision and knowledge that will lead to solutions also exploitable on our planet Earth, where we erroneously think we have infinite resources at our disposal.
