Eu:CROPIS - Tomato cultivation by satellite

27 June 2018
Astronauts must be supplied with breathing air, water and food in space. Closed life support systems are needed to "recycle" these vital resources and thus make them available for long-term use over several years. The DLR mission Eu:CROPIS (Euglena Combined Regenerative Organic Food Production in Space) tests the long-term stability of combined biological life support systems for missions to the Moon or Mars.
