Solid State Lighting System

The CERES 2010 Research EcoSystem is aptly named for the Roman goddess of agriculture whose death and resurrection symbolized the regenerative power of the earth. CERES also shares the name with the first discovered and largest asteroid orbiting between Mars and Saturn, In keeping with the historical significance of its name the CERES 2010 has combined the best of terrestrial and space environment technologies into a completely solid state table top life science environmental chamber that uses less electrical energy than most household microwave ovens The CERES 2010 energy efficiency is a result of combining several innovative technologies developed for the United States Manned Space Program into one energy efficient compact unit.

These technologies include the SNAP-LITE solid state modular LED lighting system, the solid state thermoelectric heating and cooling modules and the solid state hygrothermoelectric humidity control system. All of the systems have been designed to be monitored and controlled by a simple but powerful computer interface that can be driven by a small laptop computer. The innovative control software is user friendly and redily adaptable for most life science applications.

A group of NASA researchers at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas are using a CERES 2010 to demonstrate small-scale food plant production in their Lunar-Mars Life Support Test. (L.M.L.S.T.P.). The CERES 2010 (A.K.A. The GARDEN ) was used grow lettuce throughout a 90 day closed environment test. Be sure to check out the Daily Life to see more pictures of the CERES 2010
