Sierra Space, the company behind Vintage Altaroc Odyssey 2021, has just announced the success of its various programs dedicated to growing plants in Earth orbit. Vegetables have been installed on the International Space Station since 2014, and Sierra Space should soon succeed in growing its first salad. To combat gravity and the absence of fertile soil, the team has developed a system capable of stimulating growth in space thanks to integrated light effects, programmed watering and regulation of temperature and carbon dioxide levels.
Sierra Space is a subsidiary of Sierra Nevada, which has signed an agreement with NASA to deploy unmanned flights to the International Space Station, and works in collaboration with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.
