Supplementing Closed Ecological Life Support Systems with In-Situ Resources on the Moon

Supplementing Closed Ecological Life Support Systems with In-Situ Resources on the Moon

In this review, I explore a broad-based view of technologies for supporting human activities on the Moon and, where appropriate, Mars. Primarily, I assess the state of life support systems technology beginning with physicochemical processes, waste processing, bioregenerative methods, food production...
