Design of Intelligent Aeroponic Microgravity & Earth Nutrient Delivery System (I-AMENDS) for Bioregenerative Space Life Support and Earth Applications
This technology allows for the growth of plants in zero-gravity or microgravity environments. The invention solves the problem of directing water and nutrients to plant roots by incorporating liquid and nutrient emitters that allow for the efficient and effective flow of the water into the system. The design, which is suitable for small growth chambers...
