Cubesat Cultivation System for the growth of a fortified “MicroTom”
Moon and Mars are consolidated targets of the human exploration of the solar system. During space mission the importance of recycling resources is clear; In this regard, plants play a significant role in every ecosystem, even when the system is a “micro” environment such as a spacecraft. Photosyntethically active plants absorb carbon dioxide, generating oxygen, fresh nutrients and clear water by transpiration process, utilizing also crew’s trashes.
