Original photo and caption dated August 14, 1995: <i>"KSC plant physiologist Dr. Gary Stutte harvests a potato grown in the Biomass Production Chamber of the Controlled environment Life Support system (CELSS) in Hangar L at Cape Canaveral Air Station. During a 418-day "human rated" experiment, potato crops grown in the chamber provided the equivalent of a continuous supply of the oxygen for one astronaut, along with 55 percent of that long-duration space flight crew member's caloric food requirements and enough purified water for four astronauts while absorbing their expelled carbon dioxide. The experiment provided data that will help demonstarte the feasibility of the CELSS operating as a bioregenerative life support system for lunar and deep-space missions that can operate independently without the need to carry consumables such as air, water and food, while not requiring the expendable air and water system filters necessary on today's human-piloted spacecraft."</i KSC-95pc1197

Original photo and caption dated June 22, 1988: "A dwarf wheat variety known as Yecoro Rojo flourishes in KSC's Biomass Production Chamber. Researchers are gathering information on the crop's ability to produce food, water and oxygen, and then remove carbon dioxide. The confined quarters associated with space travel require researchers to focus on smaller plants that yield proportionately large amounts of biomass. This wheat crop takes about 85 days to grow before harvest." KSC-388c2096-08

DAVID OSBORNE, A MACHINIST ON THE METTS CONTRACT, INSPECTS THE ORTHOGRID TOOL PATH ON AN 8 FOOT CF1 BARREL IN SUPPORT OF THE SHELL BUCKLING TEST FOR LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER. THIS IS THE FIRST BARREL THAT MSFC HAS MANUFACTURED FROM EXTRUDED MATERIAL, VERSUS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN BEING 3 SECTIONS BARREL PANELS THAT WERE FRICTION STIR WELDED. THE TESTING WILL SHOW THE DIFFERENT STRENGTH PROPERTIES FROM A WELDED VERSION TO A FULLY EXTRUDED PIECE OF MATERIAL. 1400392
