A lunar crop does not experience gravity in isolation. Local carbon dioxide, ethylene, airflow, and root-zone oxygen can alter the same biological outcomes that a flight experiment seeks to explain....
Nominal crop performance is the starting case. Mission relevance emerges when a cultivation module can detect a departure, protect its interfaces, recover control, and preserve enough evidence to...
Two closure percentages can both be accurate while describing different accounting bases. One may describe food on a nutritional basis, another water as a share of demand, and a third a material...
Architecture decisions become real at the level of a function and its interface. For biological cultivation, the near-term question is bounded: can a defined service earn a place in a reference...
