Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to develop a solution that supports dietary life, enabling the crew to maintain eating habits as close to those on Earth as possible, even in the limited resource environment of outer space (such as limited ingredients, cooking utensils, and personnel). In this study, 4 to 8 adults from different organizations will live together as a crew, utilizing the prototype of the currently developing food support solution. The goals are to evaluate its usefulness, assess menu plans combining existing space foods, and identify conflicts related to food in a group living environment. The insights gained will serve as reference information for the further development of the food support solution.The specific functions of the food support solution include five types: menu proposal, role assignment proposal, cooking process assistance, rule making, and inventory management.
