Astronauts, cosmonauts, and a very limited number of people have experienced eating space food due to the unique processing and packaging required for space travel. This book allows anyone with a normal kitchen to prepare space food. Since some of the processing such as freeze dehydration, and packaging cannot be accomplished in the normal...
NASA, 1964. — 64 p. Prototype foods to meet the requirements of space travelers were investigated. These foods were required to be lightweight, easy to prepare, highly nutritious, neither thirst provoking nor gas forming, and low in crude fiber. The food should not exceed a cube size of 1/4 - 3/8 inch and should, after storage up to 6 months at 40, 70, and 100F, closely...
Technical Reports. — NASA, 2013. — 20 p. The goal of AFT is to identify the methods, technologies, and requirements that will provide a safe, nutritious, and acceptablefood system in balance with its use of constrained vehicle resources such as mass, volume, power, and crew time for exploration missions. Space Food Systems Lab Facility Capabilities: Flight Food Provisioning and...
NASA, 1967. — 78 p. The study was originated to design, develop, and demonstrate an integrated feeding system based on a specified number of stable food components which can be stored in a limited space and from which can be prepared a variety of nutritious food items. Information is presented for the preparation of 10 food bars, 4 food sheets and 13 food adjunct cubes. Data...

From John Glenn s mission to orbit Earth to the International Space Station program, space food research has met the challenge of providing food that tastes good and travels well...
Technical Reports. — NASA, 2008. — 30 p. This viewgraph presents a review of the development of food systems for the use during a Mars Mission. It review some of the food delivery systems developed for all of the NASA space programs from Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, to the Space Shuttle, International Space Station. The goals and objectives of the program are to: provide an...
Technical Reports. — NASA, 1990. — 4 p. The design team's present objective is to design a facility which will provide an environment to grow plants on the surface of Mars for a continuous supply of food for a ten-man crew. The main focus of the project is the design of a greenhouse. Concentration of the current design effort is on the outer structure, internal layout, and...
NASA, 1974. — 105 p. Data were assembled which define the optimum food system to support the space shuttle program, and which provide sufficient engineering data to support necessary requests for proposals towards final development and installment of the system. The study approach used is outlined, along with technical data and sketches for each functional area. Logistic...
Technical Memorandum. — NASA, 1988. — 358 p. All food in the Space Shuttle food system was precooked and processed so it required no refrigeration and was either ready-to-eat or could be prepared for consumption by simply adding water and/or heating. A gun-type water dispenser and a portable, suitcase-type heater were used to support this food system during the first four...
Technical Reports. — NASA, 1975. — 98 p. The baseline space shuttle galley was designed to utilize lightweight rehydratable foods, to be prepared for consumption by rehydration with chilled or hot water. The impact is examined of an extension of food types to include thermostabilized food, at ambient temperature, and frozen foods on the baseline design of the shuttle galley....
NASA, 2011. — 47 p. Among the thousands of questions that need to be answered before astronauts travel to distant planets and asteroids are questions related to the astronauts themselves. How much food will they need and what foods can they take? We are fortunate on Earth to have an amazing variety of foods to eat. When astronauts do go to Mars and other destinations, mission...
