Our Product
Creating a satellite, similar to the ISS, specifically for the purpose of mass
production of food for third world countries.
Why
➢ 20 solar panels
➢ 2 docking ports
➢ Large garden to
maximize Secondary
Docking
productivity Port
Sleeping, workout
➢ Large area for area
living and
research Solar

How it will help
➢ Mass production of food can help starving countries
○ Main goal: give food to third world countries
➢ Further efforts in space colonization
➢ Creates jobs
➢ Reduces deforestation for the purpose of commercial or government
mandated farmland
Crops Being Harvested
A rotation of crops must be maintained to keep a healthy level of nitrogen in
the soil. Some of the vegetables used must be nitrogen fixing to keep the
nitrogen levels stable.
All these system create the fastest and most efficient growth in microgravity
through photosynthesis
Satellite - Materials
Outer shell: lightweight aluminum and an external thermal layer
Solar Panels: large panels like those on the ISS activity in the satellite
Like the ISS, it will need to be built in stages. There will need to be several
different launches with separate parts of the satellite.
Another similarity with the ISS is that our satellite will be open for all
countries, in a group effort towards helping world hunger.
World Hunger
Having this satellite growing food for less developed countries could be an
important step in the direction of solving world hunger. The selection of crops
proposed earlier are all extremely versatile and healthy. They would help
starving countries tremendously.
