Application of sunlight and lamps for plant irradiation in space basesThe radiation sources used for plant growth on a space base must meet the biological requirements for photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis. In addition, the sources must be energy and volume efficient, while maintaining the required irradiance levels, spectral, spatial and temporal distribution. These requirements are not easily met, but as the biological and mission requirements are better defined, then specific facility designs can begin to accommodate both the biological requirements and the physical limitations of a space-based plant growth system.
