Insects are known to be a delicious sustainable food, eaten by billions of people of various cultures for centuries. ASTRONOSH utilizes insect diversity to produce unique meals and snacks that will alleviate astronaut menu fatigue and significantly enhance current offerings.
ASTRONOSH on Earth
ASTRONOSH also benefits humans still inhabiting the Earth. From remote arctic regions to urban food deserts, a self-sufficient food system would provide more independence while promoting insects as healthy sustenance.
ASTRONOSH in Space
The system combines farming, processing, and food preparation into a single regenerative unit.
ASTRONOSH was developed for the Deep Space Food Challenge,
is a competition coordinated between NASA & Canadian Space Agency, administered by the Methuselah Foundation.
