Approaches to nitrogen fixation and recycling in closed life-support systems
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 N2 fixation is essential to the sustainability and operation of nitrogen systems but is energetically expensive. We developed a model and used sensitivity analysis to identify the impact of aerobic and anaerobic waste digestion, crop harvest index, rates

Use of cryogenic components of propellants for liquid-propellant rocket engines and in life support systems of manned space vehicles [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 The cited materials show the use of oxygen, hydrogen, liquefied natural gases (methane) and fluorine as components of the fuel for liquid-propellant rocket engines (LRE). The reasons for the need to use oxygen as an oxidizing agent are indicated.
