Organization nutrition people flying in Space, is a complex process that not only nutritionists but also engineers work on. After all, this food should be as light, nutritious and compact as possible. Here is the history of this issue and the exhibition, organized by the agency, is dedicated. NASA.
The US National Space Agency (NASA) is not only the most authoritative organization in the world dealing with space flights, but also the largest popularizer of this type of research. For example, they allow everyone to go on a virtual journey outside the earth's atmosphere. And recently, the agency organized an exhibition on astronaut nutrition.
For more than fifty years since the beginning of the first manned space flights, the concept of astronaut nutrition has changed many times. Indeed, during this time on Earth, many new views have appeared on what the right diet should be for people of different ages, physical condition, religions and beliefs.
All these changes, as well as the development of technologies, have just been reflected in the principles of making menus and organizing meals for people flying into Space. For example, if in the sixties there was a fashion for synthetic food, then in the last decade the main trend is the maximum use of natural products, especially fresh vegetables and fruits.
The size and form factor of space food packaging are also important. Space and weight are one of the main values in any vehicle flying beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, you need to save them as much as possible. And the exhibition from NASA perfectly demonstrates the changes that have occurred in this direction over the past fifty years.
