Loading...Can we use bioprinting technology for space ressupply missions
Acquiring fresh supplies during space missions, especially deep space ones will become a logistical nightmare the farther humans venture into space. However, technology such as bioprinting can guarantee instant resupply whenever the need arises.
Space organizations are already investing in bioprinting, and we might be closer to realizing to using the technology than we think.

It’s not just food, with traditional organ transplant being nearly impossible in space, bioprinting of human organs would be so beneficial.
3D-printed food has the potential to be one of the most critical technologies for deep space exploration.
