Members of the SIU research team pose for a photo in Life Science III at SIU Nov. 8, 2021 in Carbondale, Illinois. “NASA wants to extend its reach out further and further into space which means longer and longer missions. That means the astronauts have to eat for longer periods of time. When we eat we consume what we are carrying which means if youre going to go on a mission thats three years then you gotta carry an awful lot of food with you. This means big heavy space craft which is not practical. So, the idea is to produce your own food as you go and preferably using the ways that are being generated as you go,” professor in geology, Ken B. Anderson, said.

NASA narrows the field down after each phase,” professor in geology, Ken B. Anderson said.

Phase Two is to show that all pieces of the idea work and construct each one [idea] and Phase Three is to integrate them into one continuous device,” professor in geology, Ken B. Anderson said.

Currently we are in phase one, which is the NASA proposal phase. We are waiting on the phase two ‘rules’ for proof of the concept, which are anticipated to be revealed tomorrow at 10am on NASA TV [Tuesday November 9, 2021]. Once we know the rules for phase two, then the game is afoot,” director of the coal and energy research and a professor in geology, Ken B. Anderson, said.
