A system of 2 square meter hydroponic cultivation will be developed with a selection of microgreens, identified on the basis of their agronomic characteristics (e.g short-growth cycle, need for low light intensity) and nutraceutical properties (anthocyanins and flavonoids content). 14 14 15 15 === Objectives === 16 16 17 -The experiments aims to develop innovative cultivation system useful in our roadmap to Mars exploration and colonization, expanding the scientific knowledge on the Bioregenerative Systems management and performances. 18 -Furthermore, Hortextreme has important incidence on Earth applications, being a possible test-bed for cultivation systems in extreme environments and providing innovative solutions to issues related to all-round sustainability. 19 -Last but not least, it may allow to verify potential psychological benefits associated to growing plants in space for crew members during long- term missions. 20 20 21 21 === Experiment Data === 22 22 23 23 |=Date|=Files 19 + 20 +
