Ko San is a 30-year-old computer scientist who will fly to ISS in April on Russian Soyuz boosters. He will stay on this space station for 7 to 8 days to perform various scientific experiments.
With certification from the Russian Science Center, Korea became the first country outside Russia and the US to provide food for astronauts.
Currently there are 157 certified food items for astronauts. These foods use radiation to sterilize, can keep the taste better than the heat sterilization method. The requirement for space food is to be light, carefully packed, easy to manipulate, fast and convenient to eat and drink.
