Title:
Nanobubble Technology for gas-liquid enhancement in food growth applications for spaceflight environments
Agreement Number:
23FAYORB70
Agreement Value:
$300,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 19, 2024 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
The main objectives of the project include expanding the range of gases for creating nanobubbles, standardizing methods for their characterization, and testing their resilience in conditions simulating space. The goal is to investigate plant growth in microgravity conditions that tests these systems in terrestrial environments within a simulated space environment. The expected outcomes include advancements in scientific knowledge and technological development in space health and life science, training opportunities for a minimum of 5 students, and benefits to Canadian populations.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research
and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
