The current food method in space is launching prepackaged food which is
costly and unsustainable. Alternatives include growing crops and
microalgae single cell protein ([SCP]{.caps}) using artificial light
photosynthesis, which are energy inefficient. Prepackaged food and
microalgae food were compared to microbial electrosynthesis of acetic
acid ([MES]{.caps}-[AA]{.caps}). Since the dominant cost of a space
mission is the cost of launching mass, components of a system were
converted to an …
