NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge sought sustainable solutions for feeding astronauts on long missions. Interstellar Lab’s NuCLEUS system won the $750,000 prize. It uses AI to grow plants, mushrooms, and insects in a closed-loop environment, addressing nutritional gaps in prepackaged space food. The system will launch into space next year.
