Two Montana suppliers contributed 

to NASA’s Artemis program. An 

example of the state’s contributions 

is the design, fabrication, testing, 

and delivering of the landing and 

recovery crew egress stand to 

recover Orion from the Pacific 

Ocean.

A microbe found in Yellowstone 

National Park during NASA-funded 

research is now the basis of a 

fungal protein which will produce 

meat-alternative breakfast patties 

and non-dairy cream cheese. 

The protein is also growing on 

the International Space Station 

as potential astronaut food, 

which could one day help ensure 

sustainable nutrition globally.
