Space Nutrition
E-Books
FREE - iPad
‘There are few topics more enthralling than human spaceflight. Food
and nutrition are of particular interest, given the obvious commonality
with those of us remaining on Earth. From the early days of eating
food packed in toothpaste tubes, the space program has come a long
way. Beyond food itself, understanding the nutritional requirements for
spaceflight presents another challenge. It is the primary responsibility
of NASA’s Nutritional Biochemistry Laboratory to understand the
nutritional requirements of astronauts on extended-duration flights to
the International Space Station, and on future exploration missions. In
this book, we provide an overview of space programs from the earliest
human space flight through the current gem that is the International
Space Station. The book also covers the role of nutrition in the space
program, describes how space nutrition research is conducted, and
highlights much of the research that has been completed or is ongoing
at NASA.’

Landsat 7, EO-1, and Aqua satellites. Sensors on these satellites can
measure light outside of the visible range, so the images show more
than what is visible to the naked eye. The app draws on several images
from the USGS Landsat image gallery and introduces many new
images...The beauty of Earth is clear, and the artistry ranges from the
surreal to the sublime. Earth as art – enjoy the gallery.’
