Combination of Physico-Chemical Life Support Systems with Space Greenhouse Modules: A System Analysis

Abstract: The cultivation of higher plants occupies an essential role within bio-regenerative life support systems. It contributes to all major functional aspects by closing the different loops in a habitat like food production, CO 2 reduction, O 2 production, waste recycling and water management. Fresh crops are also expected to have a positive impact towards the crew's psychological health. Nevertheless, plant cultivation in closed environments is challenging and further research on system, subsystem and crop level is… Show more

“…In recent times, indoor farming, after the initial interest in space colonization by humans [ 1 ], has met increasing interest among farmers as a practical and effective approach to support year-round produce demand in urban environments, and also to face the adverse effects of climate change on conventional agricultural systems [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. So far, the development of indoor farming technology has been mainly based on progress in artificial lighting and environmental controlling/sensing, which enable farmers to grow plants under totally controlled environments.…”
