Use of innovative space technology in progressive crop production

Abstract

Abstract Over the past decades, the mankind has been preparing for the exploration of the nearest planets. To this end, the problems of growing useful and nutritious biomass (providing food for astronauts and space colonists) are being solved. Technologies for securing the life of closed space systems are being developed. For the preceding decades, a lot of unique engineering solutions have been obtained that allow implementing the technology of progressive crop production in the conditions of the Earth. The ready-made solutions for growing vegetables and fruits, berries and mushrooms are offered. The introduction of these technologies for the foundation of agricultural greenhouses based on the methods of hydroponics and airponics has already been taking place. However, the majority of these decisions are devoted to the problems of plant care obtaining the maximum amount of biomass. It does not disclose the features of the application of these technologies in the conditions of Siberia and the Far North. This article reveals the consideration of engineering problems in developing agricultural greenhouse facilities in conditions equal to the conditions of the Far North.
