NASA/KSC has a requirement for the final design, documentation, fabrication of the Utah Reusable Root Module (URRM), a flight-ready, reusable space crop rooting module, which integrates into NASA�s Ohalo III test rig to grow space crops on the International Space Station (ISS) as a demonstration for continuous crop production.
