04/11/2023 27
HOW THE WATER GETTING??Fuel cell provide electricity
Fuel cell convert energy into electricity
by chemical reaction
By-product is water vapour
water vapour condensed into liquid
04/11/2023 28
NUTRITION • Amount of iron in an astronaut’s diet should be
less than10 milligrams per day• Amount of sodium in the astronaut’s diet is limited• Scientists use a formula for Basal Energy
Expenditure (BEE)• For women, BEE = 655 + (9.6 x W) + (1.7 x H) - (4.7
x A).• For men, BEE = 66 + (13.7 x W) + (5 x H) - (6.8 x A) W = weight in kilograms, H = height in centimeters
and A = age in years
04/11/2023 29
COMPUTERIZED FOOD FREQUENCY QUESTIONNAIRE(CFFQ)
• Crewmembers fallout a CFFQ• Report what foods they have eaten during the
previous week• Computer results are sent electronically to the
ground• Nutrition specialists analyze the data • So they can recommend ways to improve the
astronaut’s dietary intake

TYPES OF FOOD 1. Rehydratable Food 2. Thermostabilized Food3. Intermediate Moisture Food4. Natural Form Food5. Irradiated Food6. Frozen Food7. Fresh Food8. Refrigerated Food
04/11/2023 32
1.REHYDRATABLE FOOD • Water is removed from rehydratable foods to
make them easier to store.
• Process of dehydration
• Also known as freeze drying
• Include beverages as well as food items. Hot cereal such as oatmeal is a rehydratable food.
04/11/2023 33
2.THERMOSTABILIZED FOOD• Heat processed so they can be stored at room
temperature
• Most of the fruits and fish are thermostabilized in cans
• Tomatoes ,grilled chicken and ham
04/11/2023 34
3.INTERMEDIATE MOISTURE FOOD

• They are ready-to-eat – packages in flexible pouches
• Require no further processing
chewy granola bar
04/11/2023 36
5.IRRADIATED FOOD• NASA first used irradiated meats in 1972 on Apollo
• Irradiated meat had higher organoleptic acceptability compared to its thermally processed counterpart
• Irradiation process involves cooking, packaging, and freezing the meat products
• The meats are irradiated at to a minimum absorbed dose of 44 kGy.
04/11/2023 37
6.FROZEN FOOD
• These foods are quick frozen to prevent a build-up of large ice crystals.
• Maintains the original texture of the food and helps it taste fresh.
• Include quiches, casseroles, and chicken pot pie.
04/11/2023 38
7.FRESH FOOD• Fresh fruits and vegetables are minimally
processed
• Sanitized with a 200 parts per million (ppm) chlorine rinse – to ensure food safety
• Air-dried and then placed on a food tray into a fresh food locker
• Vegetables like carrots and celery, are packaged in sealable bags
04/11/2023 39
• Oranges, pears, grapefruit, and jalapeno peppers have also flown occasionally.
• Bananas and oranges became less popular -because they produce odor
• 2 to 3 days for most fresh fruit and vegetable • Fresh fruits metabolize and cannot be sealed
in a container
• So a controlled atmosphere package
04/11/2023 40
8.REFRIGERATED FOOD
