Paragon Space Development Corporation and Odyssey Moon have joined forces to create new moon garden technology that will allow plants from Earth to be grown in space.

The team is specifically working on what is essentially a spacesuit for plants—a miniature pressurized greenhouse that can protect the plants from the sun’s harsh rays, remove excess oxygen, provide water, and keep the soil balanced. This new moon garden poses a bright possibility for sustainability of life on another planet.

The plant growth payload is just one aspect of the Lunar Oasis Lander being developed for the Google Lunar X Prize. The competition will award $30 million to the first private company to land a craft on the moon by 2012. As part of the requirements, the craft must safely land, send live video feed back to Earth, travel at least 500 meters across the surface, send more video and carry a payload. (inhabitat)
