KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Jeff Richards, a plant physiologist with Dynamac Corporation, displays a crop of strawberries grown in a controlled environment chamber at the Space Life Sciences Lab during a tour of the facility for members of the news media. In missions to the International Space Station or early planetary outposts, plant production systems will likely be small and rely upon the spacecraft or habitat environment to regulate temperature, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide concentrations. Various crops are being grown in conditions that might be experienced in a spacecraft to evaluate the effects of different environmental conditions on plant growth, crop yield, and product quality.
