A Makerspace for Life Support Systems in Space

Trends in Biotechnology, 2019
Human space exploration and settlement will require leaps forward in life support for environmental management and healthcare. Life support systems must efficiently use nonrenewable resources packed from Earth while increasingly relying on resources available locally in space.

Photobioreactors in Life Support Systems

2015
Life support systems for long-term space missions or extraterrestrial installations have to fulfill major functions such as purification of water and regeneration of atmosphere as well as the generation of food and energy. For almost 60 years ideas for biological life support systems have been collected and various concepts have been developed and ...

Life support systems for Mars transit

Advances in Space Research, 1992
The long-held human dream of travel to the stars and planets will probably be realized within the next quarter century. Preliminary analyses by U.S. scientists and engineers suggests that a first trip to Mars could begin as early as 2016. A proposal by U.S.S.R. space planners has suggested that an effort involving the cooperation and collaboration of

COMPOSTING IN ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS

Acta Horticulturae, 1998
Space missions of extended duration are currently hampered by the prohibitive costs of external resupply. To reduce the need for resupply, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently testing methods to recycle solid wastes, water, and air.

Bioregenerative life-support systems

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1994
Long-duration future habitation of space involving great distances from Earth and/or large crew sizes (eg, lunar outpost, Mars base) will require a controlled ecological life-support system (CELSS) to simultaneously revitalize atmosphere (liberate oxygen and fix carbon dioxide), purify water (via transpiration), and generate human food (for a ...

A mechanical cardiopulmonary life-support system

Resuscitation, 1974
Abstract A mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitator is described. Its use in cardiac arrest is discussed and the machine is shown to be safe, simple to operate, and more efficient than manual techniques, both in the hospital and in the ambulance services.
