Join Our Mission to Launch a CubeSat into Orbit

About

As humanity ventures away from Earth to the Moon and Mars, feeding our astronauts becomes essential. Our current method of supplying food—launching it on demand—is costly and lacks the necessary nutrients for long-term travel. Growing plants in space is the logical next step for rapid local food production. This feat will prove challenging as we navigate issues like microgravity, with its lack of convection and plant growth directionality, and cosmic radiation damaging cell DNA and increasing mutation. Space plant farming on the ISS is limited and requires human interaction. Developing an autonomous CubeSat payload for plant farming research is the next step toward colonizing space.
