About
Orius, incubated by TechTheMoon, develops plant production technologies in controlled environments to support new applications including food production for space environments, accelerated varietal selection, and production of compounds of interest for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and bioproduction industries. For lunar missions, local food production is essential given the 3-day transit from Earth and the imperative to use in-situ resources for long-term habitation. Orius phytotron-based systems allow precise control of light, temperature, humidity, CO2, and nutrients to optimize plant growth in constrained environments.
