Have you ever tried space cuisine — special meals prepared for astronauts or on an extended space mission?

Contrary to popular belief, space food is more than just freeze-dried vanilla ice cream, strawberry slices, or thousand-year-old Twinkies.


In May's SpaceBiz Talk, we will uncover the secrets behind space cuisine and the challenges faced in providing astronauts with safe, nutritious, and palatable meals. Discover how scientists and experts are pushing the boundaries of food technology to create compact and gravity-defying pre-packaged meals that can withstand extreme conditions in space.

Our speakers will shed light on the future of space food technology, innovative developments such as mycelium food technology and cultivated black truffles through super micro-food bacteria enzymes to see how sustainable approaches ensure a continuous source of nutrients for astronauts on their prolonged journeys to outer space.
