Scientists are Teaching Shrimp to Eat in Microgravity for Future Moon Bases
As far as we know, food doesn’t exist naturally in space. We have to bring it with us if we want to explore the final frontier. One of the oldest and most common types of food on planet Earth is seafood, yet we know surprisingly little about how aquatic animals would react to the microgravity environment they would experience in space. A new paper by researchers at Japan’s Okayama University of Science, which was recently published in Microgravi…
A study conducted by researchers at Okayama University in Japan investigated the feeding behavior of shrimp in simulated microgravity conditions. The research, published in the journal Microgravity Science and Technology, seeks to understand how these crustaceans can adapt to space environments, with implications for feeding in future lunar missions. Experiments with shrimp in a simulated environment: The researchers used a clinostat, a device t…
