Canada

Various samples of food that were chosen by the Canadian Space Agency for use on the International Space Station during the 2012-13 mission of Chris Hadfield. It should be noted that the packaging used for the food actually sent in space differs from that used by common consumers. We got food samples used by common consumers, not astronauts. All the food samples were produced in Canada. They were acquired because they were the winners of a 2011 competition launched by the Canadian Space Agency.

Function

Preserved food.

Technical

One might argue there is not a whole lot of technology involved with these samples. Some of them are camping-type food while others are plain cookies.
