Future human space missions will require sustainable technologies in order to support crew activities and daily life far away from Earth. Resources to be delivered from Earth to Lunar and possible Martian environments will be well limited, thus future related technologies shall be early enough investigated. Crew life support technologies are the most critical ones, therefore nutrition and future sustainable space food production shall be assessed. It shall include a sustainable nutrition approach like on-site food production using 3D printing technologies. This activity will focus on the feasibility of possible space food 3D printing for future human space missions, including the assessment of current technology state-of-art, identification of risks, technology development needs, development roadmap and requirements for a possible technology demonstrator experiment on ISS.
