Quote:This one has totaled and finished the analysis of the "Pod farming- orbital farm project" that is currently in orbit of Stuttgart.

Base results on "control" pod that is placed on the agricultural science garden planet -Cambridge-. Control pod has experienced 125% more growth then expected according to Volunteer Amanda Sykes.

Results: Pod / Growth rate
Pod1 : 255%
Pod2 : 210%
Pod3 : 280%
Pod4 : 300%
Pod5 : 215%

adv: 252%

Sub orbit:
Pod A : 180%
Pod B : 300%

landfall pod:
Pod X : 80%

Report:

Pods close to a circular orbit with the equator of Stuttgart produced yields of 300%. orbital and Sub orbital courses for the pods did not seem to matter.

The downed pod >X< suffered a collision with debris and made a hard landfall... needless to say somewhere on the 34 degree parallel there is a vegetable garden that has taken root.

Stuttgarts magnetic field seems to strain solar radiation uniquely beneficial for food growth in orbit. This one suggests that if Stuttgart ever found a need to expand a high yield farming operation into space that the equatorial orbits from 28 to 98 Kilometers in altitude are viable for farms to orbit.

As for the why...

There is a detectable "green" radiation band that emits from "seemingly" horizontal rotational grades of a planets core.

While some crystals have this radiation (specifically Quartz) the frequency and mass radiation seems to reach high levels around a "belt" of energy around the planets circumsphere.

This stage of the project is complete. This one is uploading scans, reports, and information about "green radiation" to the Campus's of Sirius network for those interested to seek out and measure thier own planets and settlements viability for orbital high yield farming.
