India Develops Space Curry for Astronaut Space Food
Astronauts eat space food at space lab At present, major countries including Europe, Russia, Japan, China, and India are competing, and whoever first sends astronauts to the moon. As part of its manned spacecraft project, Indian military scientists have accepted a special task: the development of curry rice for astronauts to eat in space. In general, spicy foods are avoided in space because the diet is difficult to digest under zero-gravity conditions. Indians like this spicy food very much. A.S. Bawa, director of the National Defense Food Research Laboratory in India, said: "When an astronaut is in a good mood for eating delicious food, his performance may be better. But so far, we can only provide them with A limited and mild diet.†Some astronauts who had worked at the International Space Station complained that their senses of taste seemed to have deteriorated and they were eager to get some more spicy and sour foods. Bawa said that astronauts are eager to eat various snacks in their hometown, such as dosa (a pancake-like snack filled with spicy dishes). Bawa said: "The development of space dosa has never been done before. It is very difficult to make fried food because we can only put very little oil. But if the task requires it, we will try our best." In February 2009, India had just approved a 1.1 billion pound manned space research project and was planning to allow Indian astronauts to eat foods they are familiar with, including "space curry." Bawa said that scientists face many difficulties. This "space curry" must be spicy, and its fat content should be high. It must have as many nutrients as possible. More importantly, these foods must be suitable for astronauts to eat in space. As early as November 2008, India had sent an unmanned probe to the moon. Now, India is competing with Japan, South Korea and China who will send humans to the moon faster. In 2008, the Korean astronaut Takayama had taken a Russian spaceship to the International Space Station and took Korean traditional pickles. It took the Korean government several years to develop this "space kimchi" and it cost millions of dollars.
