空间植物栽培技术研究新进展

Research Progress in Space Plant Growing Technique

近期国际上空间植物栽培技术取得了长足发展,从试验阶段基本转入实际应用,即航天员在空间可以吃上自己亲手种植的新鲜蔬菜,这对改善其生理状态尤其是心理状态发挥了重要作用。另外,伴随神舟载人飞船和空间站技术的快速推进,我国在空间植物培养技术方面也取得了良好进步。本文就近年来俄、美、日、中等航天大国在空间植物栽培技术领域的最新研究进展进行综述,并就未来发展趋势进行了展望。

In recent years,the plant-growing technique in space has advanced greatly in some foreign countries,and the technique has evolved from the test and demonstration stage into the application stage,i. e.,the astronauts can now eat the fresh vegetables grown by themselves in the International Space Station,which plays an important role in improving their physiological and particularly the psychological states. Meanwhile,an eminent progress has been made in China following the rapid development of the spaceship and the space station technologies. This paper summarized the latest research progresses in the space plant-growing techniques in the main space-faring nations such as Russia,the USA,Japan and China and the future development trends were prospected.
