The other two finalists each received $250,000 for their designs. The Nolux team from California created an artificial photosynthesis system to produce plant and fungal products without the involvement of biological photosynthesis, and SATED from Colorado introduced flame-retardant products with a long shelf life.
NASA notes that these technologies could not only help power long-term missions such as future Artemis missions and Mars missions, but could also be useful on Earth, including in areas at high risk of natural disasters and food shortages.
