Hi-SEAS is a NASA supported project and it is designed to test food preparation strategies for long-term space exploration. The investigation compares two different ways for astronauts to eat in long duration space missions: firstly, the food already being prepared and before consumption the crew just needs to add water and heat the meal and the other method used is similar to the one which the great explorers used in the 19th century, cook shelf-stable food.

Hi-SEAS is a cooperation of Cornell University and the University of Hawaii
