Space Agriculture Industry

Know about Space Agriculture Industry


Space farming refers to growing food crops and other materials in space or on celestial objects outside of Earth, equivalent to farming on Earth. Agriculture on celestial bodies, like the Moon or Mars, shares many similarities with agriculture on a space station or space colony. But, depending on the size of the celestial body, it may lack the microgravity complexity found in the latter. Each environment would have differences in the availability of inputs for the space agriculture process: inorganic material necessary for plant growth, soil environment, insolation, relative availability of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen, etc.

Supplying food to space stations and other long-duration missions is heavy and staggeringly expensive. An astronaut on the International Space Station needs approximately "1.8 kilograms of food and packaging per day." For a long-term mission, such as a four-man crew, a three-year Martian mission, this number can grow to 24,000 pounds (or about 10,886 kg).

Due to the cost of resupply and the impracticality of resupplying interplanetary missions, the prospect of growing food in flight is incredibly attractive. The existence of a space farm would help create a sustainable environment, as plants can be used to recycle wastewater, generate oxygen, continuously purify the air, and recycle feces on the space station or spacecraft. Just 10 m² of crops produce 25% of a person's daily needs, or around 180-210 grams of oxygen. This essentially allows the space farm to turn the spacecraft into an artificial ecosystem with hydrological cycling and nutrient recycling.

Future Scope for Deep Sea Exploration Robot Industry

Image
 Future Scope for Deep Sea Exploration Robot Industry Deep-sea exploration is the study of physical, chemical, and biological conditions on the seabed for scientific or commercial purposes. Deep-sea exploration is considered a relatively young human activity compared to other areas of geophysical research, as the depths of the sea have only been explored in recent years. The ocean depths still remain a largely unexplored part of the planet, forming a relatively undiscovered domain.

Huge Demand for Weather Radar Industry

Image
 Huge Demand for Weather Radar Industry Weather radar , also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its movement, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail, etc.). Modern weather radars are mostly pulse Doppler radars, which can record not only the intensity of precipitation but also the movement of raindrops. Both types of data can be analyzed to determine the structure of storms and their potential to cause severe weather.
