Online Calculator: The Original NASA Formula 1966
NASA was one of the first modern age organizations to rediscover the benefits of spirulina, back in the 1960’s. Their extensive research included means of recycling human waste to promote algae growth in contained environments such as a spaceship. It is therefore particularly relevant to those interested in cultivating spirulina under artificial conditions.
Why we created this manual?
Spirulina is a delicate creature that reacts even to subtle changes in the climate, quality of air and nutrient compositions present in the water. While different cultivation methods are available, most documentation on growing spirulina is written with scientific terminology that most people aren’t familiar with.
Our online calculators simplify the research process by focusing on what matters most: the numbers.
Whether you’re growing spirulina in a raceway pond, a photo bioreactor or just an aquarium, knowing the exact nutrient proportions needed in YOUR facility makes it easy to experiment with different growing methods, and choose the one (or more) that suits you best.
