| Abstract: |
Long term habitation of Lunar and Mars bases requires successful onsite production of food, plants, and microbes. This paper presents requirements and opportunities for the successful implementation of plant growth systems for Lunar and Mars inhabited bases. Agriculture systems must be designed for high reliability under adverse conditions. Systems must also be designed to serve multiple purposes. |
