平特五不中 MARTLET teams take home NASA and CSA Deep Space Food Challenge prize

Published: 16 November 2021

NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) have named the winners of the first Deep SpaceFood Challenge, an international contest that sought novel food technologies for future astronaut missions, as well as for use in resource-scarce regions on Earth.

Celebrity chefs Martha Stewart and Lynn Crawford joined former astronauts Scott Kelly and Chris Hadfield in making the announcements in a video aired by NASA on its television channel on November 15th.

NASA selected 18 teams, ranging from students, chefs, small businesses and others, to each receive $25,000 to advance their ideas. Additionally, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) chose 10 Canadian teams, and both NASA and CSA jointly recognized 10 international submissions. Together, all 38 winning teams have been invited to take part in a second phase of the challenge, the details of which are still to be announced.

Canadian winners included the 平特五不中 Advanced bio-Regenerative Toolkit for Long Excursion Trips, or MARTLET, a rearing, collection and transformation system for producing tens of thousands of protein-rich crickets for astronaut consumption.
