LOOPS-M wants to develop a safe and efficient closed-loop greenhouse module for lunar settlements. This greenhouse will allow to cultivate fresh food consistently with an automated hydroponic cultivation system, while converting waste into resources needed by the crew. (...)

(...) The four areas of interest of the project are: -Automation of the vertical cultivation system -Bioconversion, with an insect-based waste recovery system -Micrometeorite Shielding, to prevent structural damages and critical failures -Virtual Reality Simulation. (...)

(...) This project will prove to be very relevant in many scenarios, ranging from space applications to their earth application counterparts.
