Higher plants will be an important component of regenerative life support systems using biological and physicochemical elements. As part of NASA's Advanced Life Support Program, the Johnson Space Center (JSC) is conducting plant growth experiments and building facilities to demonstrate life support technologies. A synthetic soil developed at JSC, termed zeoponics, and two facilities, the Early Human Testing Initiative (EHTI) Facility and the Human-Rated Test Facility (HRTF) will provide valuable data in the ultimate design of life support systems for the Moon and Mars.
