Canadian Space Agency and NASA say CANGrow system can potentially sustain astronauts during long space missions
Space food doesn’t have to mean Tang and puréed meat in a tube, with a North Vancouver company instead coming up with a menu including mushroom bacon and fresh strawberries to win a contest to devise ways to make food beyond Earth .
Ecoation CEO Saber Miresmailli says his team aims to make astronauts feel like they’re dining in a five-star restaurant with a menu featuring steak substitute, a mixed salad and fresh strawberries for dessert. It says CANGrow, an enclosed growing unit, has the potential to generate over 700 kilograms of nutrient-dense food every year, including strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and the root of a fungus that becomes a meat substitute.
