The crew requires tools and equipment to work productively and safely in space. Since astronauts have started eating plants grown in space, research into crop sanitation is critical. NASA awarded a 2018 Phase I SBIR to Space Lab® to investigate a produce sanitizer, Pro-WASH™, to disinfect plants prior to crew consumption allowing for fresh “pick-and-eat” produce. Pro-WASH™ stands for Produce Wash and Aeration for Space Habitats.
