Using what the Moon provides for consumables: water, oxygen, electrolyzers, food demos.
ALEPH from Lunaria One is the horticulture capsule. Euglena is the food module. Takasago is the water electrolyzer. LEAF is the flora job. CRAFTER is the Cislune waste recovery job.
Mission brief
ALEPH is on IM-3 Trinity. Euglena and Takasago are on Hakuto-R Mission 2.
Schematic
Lunar resources cargo and lunar resources jobs are the category match. The consumable rows, in public name order, are ALEPH, CRAFTER, Euglena, LEAF, and Takasago.
