Beyond Rations: The Challenge of Dining in Deep Space
Time: 13:45-14:55
Room: G3, Nest Convention Center
Format: Fishbowl
The next frontier of exploration might start with rockets, but it will be sustained by the systems that keep humans alive and thriving. Food for deep-space missions isn’t a menu, a product, or a single technology, it is a complex, multi-layered challenge. Solving it will require collaboration across disciplines, organizations, and nations.
Join this interactive Fishbowl session to help shape the future of food beyond Earth. Engineers, scientists, culinary experts, mission planners, safety specialists, and industry leaders will work through real mission constraints to uncover integration challenges, debate trade-offs, and identify the pathways needed for sustainable human exploration.
