Design of a Containerized Greenhouse Module for Deployment to the Neumayer III Antarctic Station
Designs for an Antarctic plant production system to be deployed at Germany’s Neumayer Station III are presented. Characterization and testing of several key controlled environment agriculture technologies are ongoing at the German Aerospace Center’s Institute of Space Systems. Subsystems under devel...
