SPINOFF 6A

Design of a Lunar Base Station Biomass Production Chamber

A Biomass Production Chamber (BPC) is used to grow food, generate water, and produce oxygen (all at the same time) for the inhabitants of the lunar base station. The Biomass Production Chamber contains trays of wheat, soybeans, lettuce, potatoes, and tomatoes. Each tray is in the shape of a trapezoid and has dimensions as shown in the diagram below. Assume that a crew of

eight requires a total biomass growing area of 350 m^2 in the chamber.

  1. Find the area of a single tray.

  2. How many trays are needed to provide enough food, oxygen, and water in order to support the crew of eight?

  3. The current NASA chamber design has 16 trays per row, with 4 rows in a single chamber. If this design is used in the lunar base station, how many rows are needed? How many chambers are needed?
