Smart Agriculture in Space

High-Level Project Summary

We developed a greenhouse that can produce earth’s climates; that recycles water, fertilizers, and soil to make the loss as low as possible, that makes it’s own energy by using solar panels and batterys.Because planets beside earth cannot grow plants on them because of soil and air, our greenhouse solving that problem.Because all the vitamins, proteins and minerals that are important for the human body gets lower when the food is freezed or shocked, because of that fresh food needs to be eaten. Astronauts need fresh food when they colonise space.

Detailed Project Description

A greenhouse that can reproduce its own energy because of solar panels and batteries, that can sense the temperature, the moisture, the carbondioxide and the oxygen in the air and organize it so it matches the climate on earth.

A greenhouse that analizes the soil and alarms if the soil is low efficiency or has more than needed of the minerals.

The soil moisture is measured and automatic watering is made. The water that is leaked or used by the astronauts gets purified and sent to water tanks. Other wastes are used as fertilizers as a result in purifying process.

Security alert: in case of a sensor breaks down or an error occures in the environment(heat,humidity,vitamin or mineral rate in the soil)it gets noticed and it gives alert by an alarm.

Food that is important for the human body can lose some or all of their food sources they have in them when they get freezed, shocked or waited. Because the distance between earth and other planets can be very far, food often get freezed or shocked, so they lose all their nutrient rates. So it is the most efficient for food to grow on greenhouses and eaten fresh.

We at the same time want to prevent space pollution because of space vehicles having limited capacity.

Using portable Arduino circuit elements, c code language elements, c code language tinkercad 3 of our project.

Space Agency Data

We made a more advanced recycling system by taking an example of the veggie recycling system.

The vitamins needed for astronauts in fruits and vegetables are more and better than vitamin pills.

Hackathon Journey

Bu mücadeleyi seçerken takımın üyelerin uzay ve gezegen jeoloji merakı, yemek yemeyi sevmesi ve sağlıklı beslenmeyi sevmesi, bitki, sebze, meyve üretimini sevmesi, bundan dolayı astronotların sağlığını önemsemesidir.

We looked at our team’s space and planet geology interests,their interest in food and eating healthy,their interest in growing vegetables fruits or plants, and because of that their interst in astronauts’ health.

We learned in this project the climates of the earth, features of the climate like heat or humidity, which climates are plants, fruits or vegetables grown, the soil structure they need, the mineral and vitamin structures in other planets and mars which we researched before.

We solved the problems with distribution of tasks, we voted when there was multiple ideas in the team. We got help from eachother, did research or asked the science teachers of our school when we got stuck.
