A management information system (MIS) was developed to analyze food nutrition for long-duration space missions. This system helps determine dietary needs and required crop production areas for Advanced Life Support Systems (ALSS).

Area of Science:

  • Space Exploration
  • Nutritional Science
  • Systems Engineering

Background:

  • Advanced Life Support Systems (ALSS) are crucial for long-duration space missions, requiring sustainable food production.
  • Variable nutritional content of ALSS-grown foods necessitates sophisticated management systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a management information system (MIS) integrating database and decision support capabilities.
  • To dynamically analyze the nutritional content of foods within an ALSS.
  • To support the design of future ALSS by quantifying food and production requirements.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a database management system (DBMS) with nutritional data for candidate crops and prepared foods.
  • Designed a decision support system (DSS) to determine daily crew diet composition.

  • Integrated crop growth rates to calculate necessary biomass production area.

    • Main Results:

    • The MIS can analyze nutrient composition for a 20-day diet in future ALSS missions.
    • The system quantifies required food quantities to meet daily crew consumption needs.
    • Calculations determined the biomass production area needed to sustain crew food requirements.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed MIS effectively analyzes nutritional content and quantifies food production needs for ALSS.
    • This system provides essential data for designing integrated subsystems in future Advanced Life Support Systems.
    • Successful integration of subsystems is paramount for mission success in long-duration spaceflight.
