[FEATURE] - Design Report: Crew Time Performance Constraint (2.3.6/2.3.9) #76

Closed nchareunsouk closed 2 years ago

nchareunsouk commented 2 years ago

Add manual pollination as a potential crew time requirement. Most vegetables (roots) such as potatoes and carrots may not require pollination but fruits such as strawberries do. Also, some plants like cucumbers are self-pollinating. Manual pollination would most likely require swabbing each plant (only during the pollination period).

Note: Periodic turbo blower fans may be a way to automate pollination.

Output processing Provide 2-3 examples of different kinds of output processing with time requirements

Output storage There are refrigerators on the ISS

UPDATE: Migrating away from manual pollination (re: no cross-contamination), solution overview should only mention air circulation pollination.
