Method and apparatus for bio-regenerative life support system [PDF]
A life support system is disclosed for human habitation (cabin) which has a bioregenerative capability through the use of a plant habitat (greenhouse) whereby oxygen-rich air from the greenhouse is processed and used in the cabin and carbon dioxide-rich ...

Reactivation of Microbial Strains and Synthetic Communities After a Spaceflight to the International Space Station: Corroborating the Feasibility of Essential Conversions in the MELiSSA Loop [PDF]
To sustain human deep space exploration or extra-terrestrial settlements where no resupply from the Earth or other planets is possible, technologies for in situ food production, water, air, and waste recovery need to be developed.

BIOREGENERATIVE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN THE SPACE (BLSS): THE EFFECTS OF RADIATION ON PLANTS
The growth of plants in Space is a fundamental issue for Space exploration. Plants play an important role in the Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS) to sustain human permanence in extraterrestrial environments. Under this perspective, plants are
