This grant from the Space Science Department is for investigating fundamental research questions vital to developing biomanufacturing capabilities in space. Specifically, it aims to collect data on microbial utilization of space-based alternative feedstocks, optimize microbial growth in variable gravities, and develop mitigation strategies for the identified effects of Galactic Cosmic Radiation on microbial growth and bioproduction. The ultimate purpose is to realize future biomanufacturing systems that ensure survival, utility, and reliability for long-duration human missions and exploration beyond Earth, contributing to self-sufficiency and resource utilization in extraterrestrial environments.
