At the recent Munich New Space Summit, I had the pleasure of meeting Evgeny Onutchin from Spacefood, a Berlin-based startup bringing an exciting twist to space nutrition. Spacefood is transforming the concept of astronaut meals, creating food that’s not only packed with essential nutrients but also tastes delicious—a rare feat for space-ready nutrition. Designed for the rigors of space travel, their meals are equally appealing here on Earth, offering a convenient, healthy option for anyone with a busy lifestyle or a taste for innovation. This innovative venture is redefining what we imagine when we think of “space food,” bringing delicious and highly nutritious food options that are as appealing on Earth as they are essential in space.
Spacefood has taken on the challenge of creating convenient, tasty food designed to nourish astronauts on long missions, but they’re equally enjoyable on Earth. Each product in their range is packed with balanced nutrients, offering a delicious, easy-to-consume, and science-backed meal option for anyone who values health and convenience—whether you’re an adventurer, a busy professional, or a dedicated space enthusiast.
Their Extra Stellar Mix includes everything you need for another late night shift, be it in the office or on board of a space craft.
This young startup is at a crucial juncture in its journey and is seeking €500,000 in funding to propel its business to the next level. This investment will allow Spacefood to expand its research, enhance production, and scale distribution to meet growing demand. Supporting companies like Spacefood is crucial for fostering innovation within the space industry and pushing the boundaries of human endurance and nutrition.
