Space Traveler To Test Algae In Space

 
Within the scope of the ALGALSPACE project, Alper Gezeravcı, Türkiye’s first space traveler, will test the algae taken from Antarctica into space to provide additional food.

“Microalgae, which are easy to grow and rich in nutrients, can be used as food for space travelers, as well as contributing to space missions in many areas such as improving air quality and waste treatment. One of the challenges of long-duration space missions, such as human settlement on the Moon or Mars, is the limited life support resources that can be taken on board. We will ensure that microalgae, which have adapted to harsh conditions such as the poles and are resistant to these conditions, will be used in space,” the professor stated.
