Space Food: How the LSG Group developed premium meals for outer space

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer started his journey to the International Space Station (ISS). His bonus food, developed by LSG Group's Culinary Excellence team, is waiting for him in outer space. In this video, we show how we developed four premium meals delivering a taste of home. All are shelf-stable for two years at ambient temperature thanks to a food technology called autoclaving - it also presents a sustainable solution for airline catering and the convenience retail and home delivery business. The LSG Group is the quality and technology leader in airline catering and related markets. It has two strong, independent expert brands: LSG Sky Chefs, a globally active catering specialist with the highest hygiene and quality standards for airlines, the home-delivery market and retail. Retail inMotion, which specializes in on-board retail, product development and technology solutions, sets standards with its understanding of partnership and its innovative strength. The LSG Group (International) is headquartered in Neu-Isenburg, near Frankfurt, Germany, and has an extensive network of joint ventures and partnerships around the globe. In the pandemic year 2020, the 12,500 employees at 140 locations in 40 countries worldwide generated consolidated revenue of 945 million euros. LSG Sky Chefs produced 244 million meals (including through minority shareholdings) during this period. www.lsg-group.com
