Jigsaw Puzzle : Closed ecosystem space research
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Closed ecosystem space research
Harvesting crops in a self-sufficient ecosystem. In order to make interstellar space travel possible, it will be necessary, due to the large distances involved, for astronauts to maintain a self-sustaining environment. To do this they will need crops for food and to photosynthesise and produce oxygen from the carbon dioxide they breathe out. This Soviet experiment of 1967-1968 was an attempt to replicate an environment cut off from the surrounding world to see if it was possible to maintain it

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of space exploration. Taken during a Soviet experiment conducted between 1967 and 1968, it showcases the groundbreaking concept of closed ecosystem space research. In this image, we see a male scientist diligently harvesting crops within a self-sufficient environment. The significance of this experiment lies in its aim to make interstellar space travel possible by creating an isolated ecosystem capable of sustaining astronauts for long durations. As distances involved in such journeys are immense, maintaining a self-sustaining environment becomes crucial. The scientists sought to achieve this by cultivating crops that not only served as food but also facilitated photosynthesis, generating oxygen from the carbon dioxide exhaled by the astronauts. The photograph exudes an air of scientific curiosity and determination as the biologist tends to his crop within the greenhouse-like structure. It offers us a glimpse into an era when nations were engaged in fierce competition to conquer new frontiers beyond Earth's atmosphere. This historical snapshot reminds us of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unyielding desire to explore uncharted territories. It symbolizes the ingenuity and dedication required for advancements in space science while serving as a testament to mankind's quest for survival amidst challenging circumstances. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an invaluable visual representation that encapsulates both scientific progress and human ambition on our journey towards understanding outer space better.
