However, it is not easy to eat when your food keeps floating away from you! Over the years, scientists have learned a lot about how to make food that can stay fresh for a long time and that will not float away. When space travel first began, the food choices were limited. One type of food was a paste in a tube that had to be squeezed into their mouths. They also ate dried foods and powdered foods. Although easy to eat, these foods did not taste very good. Astronauts complained about the food, so changes were made. Soon there were foods to eat with a fork or spoon. Astronauts also had more foods to choose from. Today, space foods are still easy to eat, but now they taste good too. Astronauts enjoy soups and salads. They have many different main dishes, such as chicken and spaghetti. They snack on fresh fruits and vegetables, like oranges and carrot sticks. They even eat chocolate cake for dessert! Now when astronauts eat a meal in space, it’s almost like they are eating at home, but with an amazing view! An astronaut enjoys a tortilla in space. © National Geographic Learning, a part of Cengage Learning, Inc.

  • Comparison of Soviet and U.S. Space Food and Nutrition Programs
    https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19890010688 2020-03-20T03:49:23+00:00Z COMPARISON OF SOVIET AND U.S. SPACE FOOD AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS Final Report NASNASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship Program-1988 Johnson Space Center Prepared by: Selina Ahmed, Ph.D. Academic Rank: Associate Professor University & Department: Texas Southern University Department of Home Economics Houston, TX 77004 NASNJSC Directorate: Space & Life Sciences Division: Man-Systems Division Branch: Flight Systems Branch JSC Colleague: Charles T. Bourland, Ph.D. Date: Augusit 22,1988 Contract Number: NCT4rbOOl-800 1-1 ABSTRACT This report compares the Soviet Space Food and Nutrition programs with those of the US. The Soviets established the first Space Food programs in 1961, when one of the Soviet Cosmonauts experienced eating in zero gravity. A Soviet scientist recently developed "trophology" - the study of living systems which includes assimilation of nutrients. Trophology is expected to permit nutritional advances beyond the "Balanced Diet" concept of satisfying ongoing metabolic needs. The concept expands and enriches the old con- cepts with the new findings in space nutrition. The Soviet scientists have conducted a number of studies regarding the concepts of nutrition assimila- tion and increased nutritional needs in long duration missions. US. Space Food and Nutrition programs have been developed over the past twenty-five years. From the early days of Mercury and Gemini to future Space Station requirements, the US. Space Food and Nutrition programs have progressively improved. This study indicates that some major differences exist between the two space food and nutrition programs regarding dietary habits. The major differences are in recommended nutrient intake and dietary patterns between the cosmonauts and astronauts.

  • Indian Food in Space: DRDO's Menu for Gaganyaan Astronauts
    Tue, 07 Jan 2020 Indian food in space: DRDO's menu for Gaganyaan astronauts Gaganyaan astronauts will feast on Indian food, reconstituted for space conditions By Rekha Dixit Idli or upma for breakfast. A choice between chicken biryani or vegetarian pulao, with a side of dal and mixed vegetables for lunch. How about a chicken korma and chappati for dinner? Sooji halwa is a good dessert option, and you could nibble on an energy bar when you feel peckish. Sorry, this is a non-smoking, non-alcohol flight, but you could help yourself to coffee or tea, or a choice of fruit juices. All this, and more, could be available in space through ISRO's Gaganyaan programme. Gaganyaan is India's first human space flight. Scheduled to take off before 2022, it will offer a gourmet spread of Indian food for its pioneering astronauts courtesy the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO), which has been tasked with organising the victuals for the week- long flight. While DRDO is busy designing menus, its Mysore-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL) works on adapting a range of packaged food items that it makes for soldiers deployed on harsh missions. A list of over two dozen items that includes cuisines from across India is being worked on. "We hope to get an initial set of food items ready to be taken off on the first of the three flights,'' said D. Semwal, DFRL director. Mission Gaganyaan includes a set of three flights; the first two will be unmanned ones, and only the third will have a human crew, of two or three astronauts.

  • Designing Passenger's Eating Experiences for Future Space

To date, though, perhaps unsurprisingly, most research on space food design has emphasized the functional and nutritional aspects of food, and there are no systematic studies that focus on the human experience of eating in space. It is known, however, that food has a multi-dimensional and multi-sensorial role in societies and that sensory, hedonic, and social features of eating and food design should not be underestimated. Here, we present how research in the field of Edited by: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) can provide a user-centered design approach to Javier Jaen, co-create innovative ideas around the future of food and eating in space,

  • Histories of Anticipation, Technology, and Culinary Imaginaries of Future Foodstuffs
    Food Futures: Histories of Anticipation, Technology, and Culinary Imaginaries of Future Foodstuffs Anna Heitger Future Food Scripts: An Ethnographic Approach to Practices of Eating and Anticipating in Germany Food and food security have become urgent global political and ecological issues in the Anthropocene, giving rise to various (techno-utopian) projects set out to intervene in and design the future of food and the ways in which we engage with food by growing, acquiring, preparing, eating and digesting it. My ethnographic research on food and eating practices in Germany is part of the research project “Food4Future” that aims at developing new technologies for food production and future foodstuffs. With the concept of anticipation (Adams et al. 2009) I try to capture how the possibility of future is pervasive in practices of food design and how this biopolitical form of preparedness for an uncertain future legitimises interventions, embedded in wider epistemic and biopolitical projects, in the present. The project attempts to find ways to conceptualize the particularmultispeciessubjectivities and altered difference configurations emergent within these anticipatory projects. My proposal is to understand food as a scripted technology (Akrich 1992) to analyse how the incorporation of novel substances with novel characteristics and potentialities evokes a new subject and a new, altered and already futuristic body. What I seek to discuss is 1) what is at stake when we as multispecies organisms shaped by food from the social and cultural to the molecular level literally “eat the script” of designed foods, 2) how to prepare for different kinds of anticipations, 3) how to re-contextualize these anticipatory projects in the history of food and eating, and in ethnographies of food and eating of the present.
