Overview
- The freshest twist comes from recovery plans, as the Navy says the ship will carry an abundant amount of Uncrustables and Smucker’s pledged a lifetime supply once the crew is back on Earth.
- NASA’s standard menu lists 189 items for Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, including five hot sauces, six desserts and 58 tortillas in place of crumb‑shedding bread.
- Much of the food is dehydrated or freeze‑dried and gets about 75 milliliters of hot water before serving, with multi‑day rations packed into Bulk Overwrap Bags that bundle two to three days of meals.
- Orion carries a briefcase‑style warmer that can heat up to 12 packages at once, and the beverage plan spans more than 10 drinks with a total allotment of 43 cups of coffee for the 10‑day trip.
- NASA says foods must stay safe without refrigeration, be easy to eat in microgravity and minimize crumbs, and the crew pretested and rated the options as the mission returns from a lunar flyby toward a Pacific splashdown near San Diego.
