dc.description.abstractIn order to enable long term habitation on planetary surfaces, a means of sustainable food production must be developed. The MarsOASIS greenhouse concept evolved to research crop production and serve as a proof of concept for larger scale food production facilities that would support manned missions to the surface of Mars. Utilizing in situ resources such as the Martian atmosphere, sunlight, and UV-C radiation, the greenhouse aims to provide a sustainable method of long-term food production requiring minimal consumable resources. The MarsOASIS system is capable of growing a full life cycle of Outredgeous lettuce with its autonomous control system designed for an unmanned environment and the option for teleoperation. A reduced-scope prototype of MarsOASIS is being developed to test technologies such as natural/artificial hybrid lighting, water recycling, remote teleoperation, and fully autonomous monitoring and control of the greenhouse. The prototype is currently in the final stages of design, with a full demonstration of plant life cycle testing set to occur in summer 2015. Results from this prototype demonstration will help quantify the feasibility of the innovative approaches incorporated in the MarsOASIS design.en_US
