In an effort to supplement astronauts’ diets with fresh produce during future long-term space missions, the team at NASA Kennedy Space Center is working on methods to better deliver water and nutrients to plant root zones, with the desire to create a more reliable vegetable production system. Effectively doing this in microgravity has proven to be one of the biggest challenges experienced. Here, we detail the development and testing of the Passive Porous Tube Nutrient Delivery System (PPTNDS).
