Space platforms, what are typically called satellites or spacecraft, are generally complex to build on the ground, expensive to launch, and obsolete in a decade or less.
These objects end up floating in orbit around the planet contributing to the pollution around the Earth. But what if there was a better way?
That’s the question that David Barnhart, director of USC’s Space Engineering Research Center and lead for the Space Systems and Technology group for the USC Information Sciences Institute (ISI), is contemplating. What if we could just "grow" spacecraft, repurpose a hybrid of inorganic and organic materials, and even allow food to grow in space?"
In a paper co-written with colleague and collaborator Nicole Livia Atudosiei of Bioterra Bucharest University, Barnhart discusses one alternative to creating space platforms with manmade materials coupled with possibility of transporting food into space. He writes about what he calls “bio-terran capability in space” or “growing the environment itself.”Read More
