Using photosynthesis for Martian occupation—while making space travel more sustainable

Researchers are working on sustainable technology to harvest solar power in space—which could supplement life support systems on the moon and Mars. In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists assess a new technique which could convert renewable, green energy from outside the Earth's atmosphere. They are taking advantage of photosynthesis—the chemical process plants undergo every day to create energy—to help the space industry become more sustainable.
