In 2001, Pizza Hut became the first company in the world to deliver pizza to space. The pizza was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) onboard a resupply rocket. The creation and delivery of the world's first space-consumable pizza was the culmination of nearly a year of collaboration between Pizza Hut and Russian food scientists. The pizza was topped with salami to enhance the pizza's flavor because researchers found that pepperoni did not withstand the 60-day testing process. Before final certification for consumption was given, the vacuum-sealed Pizza Hut pizza had to undergo rigorous stabilized thermal conditions to determine freshness-stay and life span.
