An efficient plant production system for eXploration habitat demonstration module

Abstract

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) annually provides an academic challenge to colleges around the United States. The goal of this XHab project was to design, enhance and implement a monitoring and control network for a plant production system. This project emphasized on hands-on design, research, development, and manufacture of a functional prototype subsystem. This prototype is to be integrated onto an existing NASA built habitat prototype.
