Our Solution
The Mycoprotein and Vegetative Resource Incubation Chamber is a two-part system designed to grow fresh fruit and vegetables as well as mycelium protein for consumption in space during long duration missions.
Fresh- understanding the psychological and physiological benefits of growing and eating fresh food, MaVRIC was designed to grow plants in as close to natural methods as possible to produce fresh, ready to eat foods.
High Yield- Designed with crew in mind, MaVRIC can be reconfigured to match the dietary needs of up to 6 astronauts.
Autonomous- With mission in mind, MaVRIC reduces dependence on crew to grow and maintain crops by automating environmental controls, watering, and feeding, leaving only harvesting and replanting to the crew.
