NASA offers $1mn for innovative ideas to feed astronauts

NASA will pay up to $1 million to people who can come up with innovative and sustainable food production ideas to feed astronauts in space.

In coordination with the Canadian Space Agency, NASA has launched the ‘Deep Space Food Challenge’ that calls on teams to design, build, and demonstrate prototypes of food production technologies that provide tangible nutritional products or food.
