Menu crafted by space food experts

The menu was crafted with space food experts to balance nutrition and practicality.
Think vegetable quiche, barbecued beef brisket, couscous with nuts, plus drinks like green tea and mango-peach smoothies: each astronaut gets two flavored drinks daily.
Meals are matched to each phase: ready-to-eat foods for launch and re-entry; rehydrated dishes once they're orbiting.
Everything is shelf-stable and safe for microgravity, showing just how much NASA cares about keeping its crew healthy, paving the way for longer missions in deep space.
