UCF SpaceLibrary Week: Mars to Table - Feeding the Future of Human Space

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

As humans prepare for long-duration missions to Mars, food must become more than nutrition—it must become infrastructure. Join Dr. Amy Gregory and Chef Cesar Rivera-Cruzado as they showcase the University of Central Florida's innovative Closed-Loop Culinary Ecosystem (CLCE), a hospitality-inspired Mars food system that integrates food production, culinary experience, behavioral health, and crew performance into a single mission architecture. Explore how we can feed astronauts for 500 sols on Mars and enjoy a space food tasting experience inspired by the future of deep-space dining.
