Successful realisation of the Arthrospira-C experiment at the MUSC

Germany’s Microgravity User Support Centre (MUSC) successfully carried out the Arthrospira-C experiment to investigate the capability of cyanobacteria (spirulina) to produce oxygen and edible biomass in microgravity. This breakthrough is crucial for ensuring a sustainable food supply for long-term space missions, contributing to the ongoing MELiSSA project focused on regenerative life support systems for missions to the Moon and Mars.
