Publisher Description:
Spaceflight Life Support and Biospherics is the introduction to space life support systems and artificial ecosystems that has so far been lacking. It is a source of information for everyone involved in the life support system design and development process - engineers, scientists, and students - as well as all those who are simply interested in this existing discipline. The structure of this book is such that it gives step-by-step answers to the basic questions concerning life support systems on any scale - from small microbial systems to the Earth's biosphere:
  • Why life support system development and biosphere research?
  • How does our natural life support system, the biosphere, work?
  • What are the environmental conditions for life support systems in space?
  • What are the fundamental terms and requirements of life support?
  • Which physicochemical life support subsystems currently exist?
  • Which are the potential bioregenerative life support technologies of the future?
  • What are life support systems of future planetary habitats going to look like?
  • What are the experiences of the largest artificial ecosystem - Biosphere 2?
  • What are the potential terrestrial benefits of life support development? /LIST
