Description
This
solicitation seeks innovations in the design, installation, and sustainable
operation of a Mars greenhouse.
The
primary purpose of this greenhouse will be food production. Designs should size
the habitat based on (and provide information on) their crop and growth systems
choices. This greenhouse design should respond to and provide a vision
for the plausible use of plants for space missions and incorporate as much as
possible from In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). NASA is setting aside
up to 5 summer internships for students on teams that advance to the BIG Idea
Forum. Selections will be based on the cumulative merit of each student’s
individual internship application and availability for summer
internships.
