BOULDER, Colo. (Oct. 17, 2023)/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Astronaut Ice Cream, the original source for freeze-dried astronaut ice cream developed with NASA in 1974, launches four new products into orbit for Fall 2023. With its long history of making freeze-dried treats, Astronaut Ice Cream is excited to add two new flavors to its freeze-dried sandwich lineup: Cookies & Cream and Mint Chocolate Chip. The brand’s popular freeze-dried Cinnamon Apples Wedges also make a return to Earth, and a brand-new bundle offering is sent into the cyber (purchasing) universe — an Astronaut Collection Pack, containing one of each of its ice cream sandwich flavors and freeze-dried fruit offerings.

Individual sandwiches are available for purchase for $4.99 USD. A 12-pack is also available for purchase for $59.99 USD.

After a brief hiatus, freeze-dried Cinnamon Apples Wedges return as a perfect addition to school lunches, stocking stuffers, or moon missions.
