Use of Photobioreactors in Regenerative Life Support Systems for Human Space Exploration [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
There are still many challenges to overcome for human space exploration beyond low Earth orbit (LEO) (e.g., to the Moon) and for long-term missions (e.g., to Mars).

Radiation environment in exploration-class space missions and plants’ responses relevant for cultivation in Bioregenerative Life Support Systems [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
For deep space exploration, radiation effects on astronauts, and on items fundamental for life support systems, must be kept under a pre-agreed threshold to avoid detrimental outcomes.

Biological wastewater treatment using regenerated immobilized sludge [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The purpose of this work is to study biological wastewater treatment using air regeneration of immobilized sludge in an aerotank-bioreactor. For the experiment, physical modeling of gas- hydrodynamic processes in aerated wastewater treatment plants was ...

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

An Electro–Microbial Process to Uncouple Food Production from Photosynthesis for Application in Space Exploration

Life, 2022
Here we propose the concept of an electro–microbial route to uncouple food production from photosynthesis, thereby enabling production of nutritious food in space without the need to grow plant-based crops.
