Deep Space Food Challenge open through July 30, 2021

Last Updated on May 28, 2021 by Solar System Ambassador Pam Roller

Here’s an update from our local Solar System Ambassador Pam Roller:

The Deep Space Food Challenge, a NASA Centennial Challenge, seeks ideas for novel food production technologies or systems that require minimal resources and produce minimal waste, while providing safe, nutritious, and tasty food for long-duration human exploration missions. Solutions from this challenge could enable new avenues for food production around the world, especially in extreme environments, resource-scarce regions, and in new places like urban areas and in locations where disasters disrupt critical infrastructure.

Open Date: January 12, 2021 Close Date: July 30, 2021
