🌱 Growing Food in Zero Gravity: Bioreactor Lab

An interactive 3D closed-loop space greenhouse: aeroponic crop racks, an algae photobioreactor and a cultured-protein tank feeding a crew, with a live crew-morale meal-variety score.

A cutaway of a spacecraft habitat module showing three linked closed-loop food systems: aeroponic crop racks, a glowing algae photobioreactor, and a cultured-protein tank, joined by a live nutrient / gas recycling loop.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Aeroponic misting, algae-driven oxygen production and cultured-protein bioreactors together replace resupply on long missions, while meal diversity feeds a simple crew-morale score.

🎮 How to Use

Raise grow-light intensity to speed plant growth and oxygen bubbling, adjust the mist interval, pick a crop-diversity level, and toggle the closed-loop flow animation to see how each choice shifts the stats.

💡 Did You Know?

A single litre-scale algae photobioreactor can produce roughly the daily oxygen needs of one person under the right light and CO₂ conditions — a key reason algae are studied for long-duration life support.
