Discover innovative seasoning solutions designed for space missions. Explore our compact capsules that revolutionise flavour enhancement for astronauts and space agencies.
Cosmic Savour Seasoning Capsule
Astronauts need food that is practical for space travel. Our project explores another essential part of that experience: taste.
Traditional seasoning methods may not always be convenient or manageable in a microgravity environment. Our project therefore asks:
Concentrated Seasoning in a Capsule
Instead of depending only on separate seasoning containers, astronauts can select a micro-capsule based on the specific flavour required.
Professional Scientific Testing Roadmap
Cosmic Savour is currently a school-level innovation concept. Before any product like this could be used by astronauts, important areas would need professional scientific testing, including:
A Small Idea Inspired by a Big Challenge
Cosmic Savour is a student space-startup project created around one interesting question:
“How can we make food more flavourful for astronauts without depending on loose seasoning or larger seasoning containers?”
From this question, our seasoning capsule concept was developed. The project proposes placing concentrated seasoning in a small capsule format, making it compact and easier to carry.
To explore a simple, compact and low-mess way of adding flavour to food during space travel.
To develop Cosmic Savour from a school-level idea into an increasingly practical and scientifically tested space-food concept.
Startup Leadership & Roles
The student innovators driving the Cosmic Savour space-flavour capsule mission.
KEVIN
This role will develop the startup idea more into a company.

SHRIDHAN CHANDRASEKAR
CEO & Project Creator guiding project vision, team coordination, and customer/partner deals.
Space travel uses some of the world's most advanced technology, but astronauts can still face simple everyday challenges such as enjoying their food.
Our team created Cosmic Savour to explore one small part of this challenge. Our idea is a compact seasoning capsule that could provide flavour without requiring loose seasoning or larger bottles.
As CEO, my responsibility is to guide our project, coordinate our team and explain our idea clearly.
Cosmic Savour is currently a student project. We want to keep learning, improve our concept, introduce more flavours and understand how it could be properly tested for future space use.
Our idea may be small, but our vision goes beyond Earth.
The Space Mission Challenge & Our Capsule Solution
Overcoming high rocket payload costs and astronaut sensory dullness with zero-mess micro-encapsulated seasonings.
Bland Space Food & High Payload Weight
When astronauts eat their food, it is completely bland because scientists cannot add loose seasoning due to severe weight constraints on rockets.
- Heavy Launch Payload Costs: Every kilogram of cargo costs ₹1,500 to ₹1,600 to transport into space.
- Sensory Dullness Risk: Consuming bland food continuously dulls astronaut bodily reactions and alertness, risking mission failure.
- Liquid Seasoning Failures: Liquid alternatives create severe micro-gravity mess and add excessive weight.
Concentrated Micro-Seasoning Capsules
Cosmic Savour creates compact micro-capsules delivering a strong, concentrated seasoning extract specifically tailored for space travel.
- Focused Spice Extracts: Specifically concentrated Salt, Black Pepper, and Chilli powder formulations for MRE space food.
- Zero-Mess Micro Packaging: Compact format eliminates floating spice particles and messy liquid leaks in micro-gravity.
- Reusable Eco Materials: Uses reusable packaging materials and is 100% safe for astronaut consumption.
Capsule Formulation & Lab Materials
Lab-crafted using 100% safe, edible, and zero-gravity stabilized ingredients.
