This afternoon I moderated "Beyond Rations: The Challenge of Dining in Deep Space" at IAC 2026 in Antalya, organised by the @DeepSpaceFood . The idea behind it was simple: food on a long mission isn't catering, it's infrastructure, and it touches everything else in the habitat. After the panel, the room split into tables and worked through a lunar mission scenario themselves. The cards they filled in will feed into DSFC's roadmap. Thank you to Robyn Gatens, Kyunghwan Kim, Annie Shelton, Jarin Chu and Tor Blomqvist for the conversation, to Angela Herblet and the DSFC team for putting it together, and to everyone who stayed and did the work at the tables on the last day of the congress.

Last week, our very own Robyn Gatens, director of the @Space_Station and acting director of the Commercial Spaceflight Division, kicked off the @DeepSpaceFood Challenge in Ohio with a dynamic discussion on the food industry and deep space mission with Chef @TylerFlorence. Robyn also gave the keynote address, where she recognized the innovative solutions these finalists developed to advance our food systems for long-duration, deep space missions. Congratulations to this year’s winner of the $750,000 grand prize: Interstellar Lab of Merritt Island, Florida! Learn more: nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-a…

Our very own Robyn Gatens, director of the @Space_Station, delivered the keynote this morning at the @DeepSpaceFood Symposium in Ohio. The Deep Space Food Challenge is a multi-year international effort to develop sustainable food systems for long duration habitation in space, on the Moon, and on Mars. Since the launch of the Challenge in 2021, over 300 teams from 32 countries have developed innovative food system designs. More updates from this year's finale⤵️
