Aeroponics Systems and NASA

Amplify’d from hydroponicssystems.co

In the end of 1990′s, NASA began testing aeroponics systems as an accessible method of growing fruits and vegetables in space. In 1996, NASA began investing in the analysis of Richard Stoner, the man who originally patented the microchip that initially fabricated the automated watering of aeroponically developed plants possible. At the time, he was busy researching on a way to cultivate plants aeroponically without pesticides that are sometimes all-important to reduce harmful microorganisms through application of liquid biocontrol. A year later, NASA was assuming its own tests for biocontrol. Tests were conducted on growth cycle on the MIR space Station, the Kennedy space Center, and Colorado State University.
