High-Level Project Summary
Our project is a nutrition plan that provides astronauts with the nutrients that are important to the human body daily for all vital processes that power them to do good work daily, we worked to provide all the elements that are important to ensure good health for astronauts and to enhance their work efficiency to obtain better research results in their space exploration, including everything they might need on their long journeys into space, and we worked to feed a crew of 4 to 6 persons; we came up with new plants that had never been cultivated before, then we studied their planting conditions and compared them to outer space conditions, we've selected: mushrooms, carrots, and others.

Detailed Project Description
We worked on a nutrition plan that is appropriate for daily use to supply the astronauts crew with the nutrients they might need daily and we studied new plants that can be planted in space considering thier farming conditions being compared to space's conditions and we came up with a plan that included all the elements that are needed daily to the human body to carry out all vital processes,
This nutrition plan will provide astronauts with all the nutrients they might need daily to carry out the vital processes that help them maintain a healthy body, which will enhance the opportunity of getting better and more accurate research results in their exploration work.
Space Agency Data
Space agency open data has helped us make our nutrition plan possible. Open data has helped us identify space conditions that may inhibit plant growth and helped us know that previous researchs which has made agriculture a lot easier. We've learned a lot about plants that have been grown in space before, and we've learned about prepackaged food that astronauts eat.
Hackathon Journey
It was totally a wonderful experience, we've learned too much about plants, space, spaceship, and many other things that we weren't to get to know without this hackathon, we got inspired to chose this challenge when we read about challenges and we thought that we should try to help astronauts get good nutrition to ensure that they're healthy enough to do their work well; we searched alot about plants which contains the important element that a body would need daily, and then we sat our plan, we would that NACA Space agency open data because the available information benefited us alot
