This was a design project for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center through Vanderbilt University. Our small team was researching the development of additive manufacturing capabilities that will provide on-demand, sustainable operations during NASA Exploration Missions. We developed many medical devices and plant substrates to assist plant growth in microgravity.
