| 12 | |||
| |
2.1 | 13 | Hortextreme deals with the installation of an inflatable structure in which a smaller grow room will be operated. 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). |

| |
2.1 | 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. | ||
