KBR said it signed a letter of intent with ACMI Properties to expand its commercial space capabilities, which will include a human spaceflight food laboratory at NASA's Exploration Park, adjacent to Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The facility will be used to design, test, and produce astronaut food systems and solutions, KBR said. Mark Kavanaugh, KBR president, defense, intel and space, said the facility is expected to serve as a critical resource for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its provider community.
The facility will also target applications to supply goods, services, or technologies for situations where advanced food safety, packaging, and other solutions are key considerations for mission success, according to KBR.
