Why a space agriculture company is spending this year growing lettuce in a tent
The Earth Analogue Experiment is lit and instrumented, and the seed is not in yet. Before an Artera Plant Pod grows anything in orbit, the cultivar NASA grew on the station has to grow here — and we have to say how close it came to a number someone else published.

What a kilogram of blueberries costs on the Moon
Delivering one kilogram of freeze-dried blueberries to the lunar surface costs at least $770,000. Growing the same kilogram costs about two bush-years, forty robot-hours, and a plant that does not fit in our pod. Here is every delivery figure we could source, and the year each was last quoted.

The first controlled environment, and how an AI read it
A monitored seed incubator is our first chamber that acts on its environment and does not only report it. The light sensor found a large light deficit before it damaged the crop. An agent did the calibration and read the values.
FDIR on the ground: hardware, a plant, and an agent that reads it
Rapid agentic prototyping of a monitoring stack. An agent researched the platforms, built the $18 sensor node with us, and then proved the part that matters for a pod: an agent can read real hardware sensors on a live plant and say what the numbers mean.
