NASA identified Crew Nutrition as a 'High Priority' gap. Gastronaut built the commercial solution: CRISPR micro-greens mitigating astronaut vision loss (SANS), balance, gut health. We have 1,042 validated cycles and inbound agency interest. Other health benefits for space and in developing nations, sub-Saharan Africa, improved crop yields domestically. Much more involved.
Gastronaut provides Nutrition-as-a-Service for deep space missions, developing flight-qualified technology designed to restore Earth-level nutrition in microgravity environments. The company focuses on ensuring peak crew performance for long-duration missions by offering a flight-proven, recurring, and data-rich space food service. Their systems are developed to address the significant challenges of human performance in space. Gastronaut maintains a focus on space food systems, emphasizing the integration of validated growth data and flight-qualified hardware to meet the complex nutritional requirements of space exploration. The company is actively engaged in discussions with space agencies like NASA regarding their specialized food technology solutions. By transforming space nutrition into a service model, Gastronaut aims to solve critical human performance obstacles encountered during deep-space travel.
