NASA Detachable Bioreactor System · 模型 57383
Introducing the Detachable Bioreactor entry for the NASA 3D Printable Bioreactor Challenge for Deep Space Food Production. This design uses a modular approach to allow parallel production. It is fit for four simultaneous experiments, but it could easily be expanded if needed. The system has two compartments, which can function as three different modules: Reaction Module (RM), where the biochemical processes take place; Treatment and Testing Module (TTM), what permits one to take samples from the RM to test for contamination, or other assays, as well as return trips to Earth from the ISS; and the Consumption Module (CM), which is the same compartment as the TTM, but uses a .22 micrometers filter to extract solely the edible substrate along with the secreted nutrients. In the absence of gravity, the transportation from one module to another will be done through the use of a comercially available electric and rechargable vaccum pump. In environments like Mars or the Moon, the system could be arranged upside down. Each RM module has a 100 mL volumetric capacity. In the project files, one will find CAD renderings for all the components and a step-by-step of all the assembly processes. STEP files of all of the previously mentioned elements are also present as expected. One will also find a thorough technical report explaining all of the system and each of its components, as well as present some explanations for the decisions made throughout, including that for the chosen material. Furthermore, technical drawings have been included to allow for other methods of fabrication, even though most of the models are ready for 3D printing, except for slight modifications to account the intrinsic tolerance of the specific printer. All in all, this design presents a versatile solution, with scalability, simplicity that relies upon known apparatus and protocols from the biological laboratory and fermentation industry, as well as a clean space aesthetic that will help with science dissamination and public suport.
