Abstract

Food during manned space missions is part of the life support system. In the earliest American short duration space flights of a few earth orbits the food system was the least of the technical problems which had to be tackled. However, as space flights lengthen from days to months and possibly in the next half‐century , to years, then all the earth‐bound socio‐psychological factors associated with food become important.
