Area of Science:

  • Space Biology
  • Gravitational Biology
  • Plant Physiology

Background:

  • The SVET Space Greenhouse (SG) was the first automated plant growth facility on the MIR Space Station (1990-2000).
  • It aimed to integrate plants into future Biological Life Support Systems for long-term space missions.
  • The Gas Exchange Measurement System (GEMS) was added in 1995 to enhance parameter monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To study plant growth under microgravity conditions.
  • To enable full life cycle plant experiments on the International Space Station (ISS).
  • To develop advanced plant growth facilities for future space exploration.

Main Methods:

  • Conducting long-duration plant flight experiments using the SVET+GEMS.
  • Developing the advanced SVET-3 Space Greenhouse concept for the ISS.

  • Real-time measurement and processing of plant chamber air and physiological parameters.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant results in Fundamental Gravitational Biology were achieved.
    • Second-generation wheat seeds were successfully produced in microgravity.
    • The SVET-3 concept utilizes transpiration and photosynthesis data for adaptive environmental control.

    Conclusions:

    • Plant growth facilities based on SVET principles are crucial for the ISS.
    • The SVET-3 concept offers advanced capabilities for optimizing plant growth in space.
    • This research supports the development of sustainable life support systems for manned space missions.
