Lunar Plant Growth Chamber challenge by NASA

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Introduction

Plant growth will be an important part of space exploration in the future as NASA plans for long-duration missions to the moon. NASA scientists anticipate that astronauts may be able to grow plants on the moon, and the plants could be used to supplement meals.
In anticipation of the need for research into lunar plant growth, NASA and the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, or ITEEA, present the NASA Engineering Design Challenge: Lunar Plant Growth Chamber. Elementary, middle and high school students design, build and evaluate lunar plant growth chambers — while engaging in research- and standards-based learning experiences. Students participate in the engineering design process and learn how to conduct a scientific experiment.
Choose from three ways to participate in the challenge:
     1. Design, Build and Evaluate a Chamber
     2. Design and Evaluate a Chamber
     3. Evaluate a Chamber
Space-flown seeds are no longer available, but students can still participate in this challenge. Students can use different types of Earth-based seeds to test the designs of the lunar plant growth chambers.

my idea would by greenhouses powered with solar panels + led grow and bloom lights + something to extract h20 from the moons air or outer space or something for the watering + some specific advanced nutrients developed for each specific seed, the biggest challenge would be the supply of water.  Im not gonna send in my silly idea, but maybe some genius out there can get his/her imagination start working.
