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
