The author summarizes current knowledge about space life support systems. The book includes nine sections discussing Biosphere 1, the Earth's life support system; the extraterrestrial environment; fundamentals of life support systems, physico-chemical life support subsystems; bioregenerative life support concepts; Biosphere 2; future life support in space; and potential terrestrial applications derived from the development of life support systems. The discussion of life support systems of the Earth includes the terrestrial environment, fundamentals of ecology, and Earth's endangered life support system. The section about the extraterrestrial environment includes chapters about radiation in free space, gravity, the space vacuum, magnetic fields, and planetary environments of the Moon and Mars. The section about fundamentals of life support systems defines and classifies life support systems and includes chapters about design and development considerations, physico-chemical versus bioregenerative life support, past and present systems, and space suits and extravehicular activities. The discussion of physico-chemical life support subsystems includes chapters about atmosphere, water, and waste management. The discussion of bioregenerative life support concepts includes chapters about bioregenerative life support and closed ecological support systems, microbial systems, algal systems, higher plants, fungi and conversion of inedible plant material for food provision, animals as human food, aquaculture systems, and food management and processing. The discussion of Biosphere 2 includes chapters about the rationale for the project, a description of Biosphere 2, the test module, fields of research, and initial results. The discussion of future life support in space includes chapters about future manned space exploration, the space station, and lunar and Martian bases. The discussion of potential terrestrial applications includes chapters about basic ecological research; atmosphere, water, and waste regeneration; biomass production and research; and support of terrestrial analogs.
