While developing a prototype of 2x1 meter square Astro-Pod green house to grow wheat in space stations/Moon/Mars it is extremely essential to provide appropriate sun light inside the chamber. Though, it leads to a complex engineering design of pod to be used in space it is not only important to calculate exact amount of light required by the plants also a way to
control it so that other plants can also be grown in artificial environment. Correct calculation will not help for the better design but also help to grow the yield in 60 to 70 days with continuous and appropriate light. It will not only save the energy of the space station it will give natural way to grow food in space that will lead to revolutionize Bio-Regenerative Life support system.
