    Abstract: The Intelligent Aeroponic Microgravity & Earth Nutrient Delivery (I-AMEND) System is configured to enable the productive growth of crops on the Moon, Mars, and beyond as well as in space stations in low-Earth orbit, such as the International Space Station (ISS), and also on Earth. Principal components of the I-AMEND system may include an aeroponic chamber, a liquid nutrient emitter for emission of a liquid into the aeroponic chamber, and an air emitter for emission of a gust of air into the aeroponic system. The emitters may be positioned upstream or downstream of a plant port of the aeroponic chamber so as to direct the liquid onto or off of a surface of the plant root.
