EDEN: A Novel Approach to Plant Growth in Space

The USU XHAB Eden Team has enjoyed the opportunity to participate in NASA’s X­HAB Challenge. Our project involved constructing a prototype to further investigate the complexities of growing plants in microgravity environments. Attached is the team’s report which covers the research and design of our prototype. Included is a summary of our design, drawings and
schematics with an as built status, engineering process documents, and all other documentation necessary to satisfy the requirements of Utah State University’s Engineering Design Course (MAE 4810).
