To establish an ecosystem outside of the Earth environment, a space is essential to maintain the ecosystem. To build ecosystems in this space, it is necessary not only to use extreme environment organisms that can survive in harsh environments, but also to use the advantages and adaptive capabilities of organisms on Earth to form ecosystems. There are various challenges to be solved when changing the lunar and Martian environments to be more similar to the Earth environment. Since it is important to provide energy to change the environment, this presentation will introduce the possibility of energy utilization by organisms that have energy production functions such as photosynthesis.
