Development and flight-testing of modular autonomous cultivation systems for biological plastics upcycling aboard the ISS

Abstract Cultivation of microorganisms in space has enormous potential to enable in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) Here, we develop an autonomous payload with fully programmable serial passaging and sample preservation, termed the Modular Open Biological Platform (MOBP), and flight-test the MOBP a...
