WHO WE ARE
At AstroFarms, we are at the forefront of advancing space exploration through cutting-edge biotechnology. Our goal is to transform celestial environments, prioritizing the health and safety of astronauts on missions to the Moon and Mars. We concentrate on microbiome-focused in situ resource utilization, growing specially adapted plant species in simulated regolith. Our focus is on kombucha microbiome community, which we already turned into our first product - AstroBucha™. By leveraging microorganisms as biofactories, we strive to deliver optimal nutrition for those living in space. Our research also enhances Life Support Systems, designing microorganisms that can produce vital compounds on demand, such as antibiotics and pharmaceuticals. We are dedicated to streamlining crop payload processes and improving supply chain efficiency, which will ultimately lower costs and secure sustainable food sources for future space settlers. Join us in our effort to nurture life beyond our planet.
