**Additional Info:**

Following the success of NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge Series, which engaged **300+ teams from 30+ countries,** one thing became clear: while individual space food technologies have advanced rapidly, **future missions demand fully integrated food systems** that deliver nutrition, reliability, and resilience far from Earth.

## **🍽 Introducing Mars To Table**

Multidisciplinary teams are invited to **design complete, nutritionally sufficient food systems for a Mars surface habitat**. Over approximately seven months, teams will develop integrated, data-supported concepts that reimagine how crews are fed during long-duration planetary missions, focusing on solutions that:

- Deliver 100% of astronauts’ daily nutritional needs

- Function as integrated systems

- Maximize resilience with minimal inputs

**All details and requirements can be found on our Mars To Table website.**

### **Awards and Recognition**

**Up to $750,000 in NASA awards for eligible U.S. teams**

🥇1st Place: up to $300,000

🥈2nd Place: up to $200,000

🥉3rd Place: up to $100,000

Category Awards: up to three $50,000 awards.

International teams are eligible to participate and receive recognition, with up to three named International Winners and Runners-Up.
