Diet Design and Food Processing for Bioregenerative Life Support Systems
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1998<div class="htmlview paragraph">The food processing and preparation subsystem for bioregenerative lifesupport must combine food produced in-situ with resupplied food ingredients to provide a nutritionally balanced, palatable and varied diet for the station crew. We have approached these goals by developing a database of individual foods including

Crop candidates for the bioregenerative life support systems in China
Acta Astronautica, 2008Abstract The use of plants for life support applications in space is appealing because of the multiple life support functions by the plants. Research on crops that were grown in the life support system to provide food and oxygen, remove carbon dioxide was begun from 1960.

Comparison of Bioregenerative and Physical/Chemical Life Support Systems
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2006<div class="htmlview paragraph">Popular depictions of space exploration as well as government life support research programs have long assumed that future planetary bases would rely on small scale, closed ecological systems with crop plants producing food, water, and oxygen and with bioreactors recycling waste.

Improving Human Productivity in Bioregenerative Life Support Systems
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1997<div class="htmlview paragraph">Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS) which supply food, water, and oxygen to humans in space by biological recycling need to be not only self-sustaining with nearly no re-supply from Earth, but also self-sustaining with nearly no crew or ground control time required for operation or maintenance, so that crew

A Preparation for Bioregenerative Life Support Systems: The FEMME Experiment
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2000<div class="htmlview paragraph">Study of bio-regenerative life support system is a critical issue for long term manned spaceflight applications. An engineering approach of such systems, consists in experimental stoichiometry and growth kinetics determination and building up structured and predictive mathematical models, in order to test ...

An Ideal Design Concept for Bioregenerative Life Support Systems
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1997<div class="htmlview paragraph">The implementation of Advanced Life Support Systems (ALSS) for missions of long duration is inevitable. Many research works have been conducted on systems which would eventually become part of an ALSS. However, when the actual integration takes place, compatibility of different systems may become another issue and ...

Biomass Productivity and Sustainability of a Bioregenerative Life-Support System
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992<div class="htmlview paragraph">Energy budgets for future Controlled Ecological Life-Support Systems (CELSS) must balance not only with respect to primary productivity (i.e., photosynthesis) vs. utilization steps (human maintenance plus preparative and recycling processes), but also with respect to necessary and desired nonlife-support activities

Waste Incineration for Resource Recovery in a Bioregenerative Life Support System
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1997<div class="htmlview paragraph">For the last two years, the University of Utah and Reaction Engineering International, in cooperation with NASA Ames Research Center (ARC), have been developing a waste incineration system for regenerative life support systems. The system is designed to burn inedible plant biomass and human waste.

A possible NaCl pathway in the bioregenerative human life support system
Acta Astronautica, 2008Abstract One of the ways to involve NaCl in the mass exchange of the bioregenerative human life support system (BLSS) is to grow some vegetables and leafy greens that can accumulate sodium chloride at high concentrations in their edible biomass.
