Moon Survival

Hydroponics

Done without soil

Uses nutrient solution in a water solvent

How hydroponics work in space

Aeroponics

No Soil used when growing plants

Started use in space in the 1960's

Teens used NASA tech to create aeroponic garden

Conductors

Lets energy flow through material

Should be avoided when thinking about building materials with the idea of warmth in mind

Conductors and insulators experiment

VEGGIE

Way astronauts grow produce

NASA veggie fact sheet

Very useful way to grow crops with low gravity and little extra water

Distillation

A water purification system

Used already on ISS to purify water

Distillation mainly used combined with other purification methods

Water Cycle

The way water goes from the clouds to the ground and back

The water cycle

Pillow Planting

A way that plants are grown while in a growth chamber

Seeds are put in 'pillows' to grow instead of soil

How astronauts grow plants

Water

Insulators

Doesn't let energy flow through the material

Insulators and conductors experiment

Very important factor in Moon Survival

Layers

Better for Keeping Warm

Easier for changing temperatures

Why we wear layers in the cold

Greenhouse

Easy way to grow crops in unstable environment

Should be first thing built on Moon

How space plants are adapting

Synthetic Lighting

Used in replacement of sunlight

Easier for space growth

LED's reduce energy use

APH

Way to grow plants in space

Minimal Crew Involvement
