Space Food Research

In the future, as space travel extends farther, space food production will become a critically important technology. Therefore, developing this technology now positions us at the cutting edge, awaiting the right moment for its application. 

Space Food of the Future

When traveling to distant space, it is not feasible to bring vast amounts of food. Therefore, the ability to produce food that meets daily nutritional requirements is crucial. Without this capability, humanity would not be able to venture further into space. 

Nutritionally

The food must be delicious and nutritionally complete, all within the constraints of limited resources.

Safe

Production must be safe, automated, and free from human intervention.

Sustain

Waste generated during the production process must be managed in a structured manner and free from pollution.

Recipe for Space Food from Insect Protein

Insect-based protein offers a sustainable solution for space and Earth, providing nutrition with minimal resources and a lower carbon footprint.

Inspect Protein Effect to Health 

We develop automated insect farming and study insect protein for safe, nutritious space food and sustainable meals on Earth.
