| Abstract: | It has been demonstrated that plants can be grown in microgravity, and almost every space programme has included experimental greenhouses to investigate technical and biological feasibility, as well as the habitability-related benefits of plant growth activities in space.Aside from nutritional and life support system applications, these benefits include sensory and spatial enhancement of the spacecraft environment, both through the plants as such and the design of their growth chambers, as well as by providing meaningful occupation through individual interaction. In view of long duration missions, plant growth facilities should not be regarded as a desirable add-on, but as an essential component of the habitat.Following a review of existing greenhouse designs and plants grown on past missions, the paper summarizes the benefits of greenhouses and outlines potential forms of architectural integration within the spacecraft interior. |
