Do they still make astronaut ice cream?

Since the earliest manned missions, space travelers have relied upon freeze-dried foods for their meals. Today, you can enjoy the same variety of delicious dehydrated ice cream treats that have accompanied many a space mission. We currently offer two ice cream sandwich flavors: vanilla and Neapolitan.

How do you make astronaut ice cream?

Freeze drying (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the air pressure to a point where ice sublimates directly from a solid to a gas. The ice cream is first placed in a vacuum chamber and frozen until the any remaining water crystallizes.

Can you eat astronaut ice cream?

The stable temperature and microgravity of a space station makes it a perfect place to eat the frozen treat, if you can fly a refrigerator up there. “Ice cream itself is actually pretty ideal for space.
