Space suit for plants may let astronauts grow crops
In Mountain View California NASA scientists have developed a plastic space suit cylinder for plants, supplying nutrients and monitoring growth with sensors. The system aims to provide food oxygen and waste recycling for space stations though lab challenges remain and oxygen buildup could risk pressure. Plant roots are irrigated by a nutrient fog while light and humidity are tracked. future work may occur in Spacelab aboard the space shuttle.
