- Abstract
Agricultural productivity is a basic need for space exploration and countries on Earth. Because of weather conditions, poor soil quality, inadequate knowledge, government policies and human waste, there are remote areas where this basic need is not covered. One of the countries where growing food with smart and ecological techniques is not as developed, but growing daily, is Russia. The proposal presented in this paper aims for an agricultural program in Skolkovo with interdisciplinary research for in-house farming. An intermediate step for this Agro initiative is the development of the Combined Regenerative Organic Food Production, C.R.O.P. ®, current DLR concept in life support systems. The design of a modular and striking shape with the integration of Internet of things (IoT): temperature, humidity, pressure, illumination, multi ion and Ph sensors, and image collection for plant monitoring and growth will be shown. The effort also describes the overall system design for household, public places and farm applications and business model for this technology. The author of this project would like to thank the Space CREI at Skoltech, Aero/Astro Department at MIT and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for their resources and support. Such technology would have a direct impact to low temperature regions and our journey to improve life support systems toward Mars.
