Moon Survival
Hydroponics
Done without soil
Uses nutrient solution in a water solvent
Aeroponics
No Soil used when growing plants
Started use in space in the 1960's
Conductors
Lets energy flow through material
Should be avoided when thinking about building materials with the idea of warmth in mind
VEGGIE
Way astronauts grow produce
Very useful way to grow crops with low gravity and little extra water
Distillation
A water purification system
Used already on ISS to purify water
Distillation mainly used combined with other purification methods
Water Cycle
The way water goes from the clouds to the ground and back
Pillow Planting
A way that plants are grown while in a growth chamber
Seeds are put in 'pillows' to grow instead of soil
Water
Insulators
Doesn't let energy flow through the material
Very important factor in Moon Survival
Layers
Better for Keeping Warm
Easier for changing temperatures
Greenhouse
Easy way to grow crops in unstable environment
Should be first thing built on Moon
Synthetic Lighting
Used in replacement of sunlight
Easier for space growth
LED's reduce energy use
APH
Way to grow plants in space
Minimal Crew Involvement
