Download or read book Spaceflight Life Support and Biospherics written by P. Eckart and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-02-29 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1997-08-02 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Technology for Human Support in Space was written in response to a request from NASA's Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications (OLMSA) to evaluate its Advanced Human Support Technology Program. This report reviews the four major areas of the program: advanced life support (ALS), environmental monitoring and control (EMC), extravehicular activities (EVA), and space human factors (SHF). The focus of this program is on long-term technology development applicable to future human long-duration space missions, such as for a hypothetical new mission to the Moon or Mars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a broad historical perspective, this book explores the interactions between humans, microorganisms, and plants in a closed habitat, and the life support systems necessary to maintain habitability over long periods of time. Topics include the cultivation of bacteria, microalgae and higher plants; the use of biotechnology to support life outside the Earth's biosphere; methods for recycling air, water and food for human consumption; interactions between humans and other organisms in CMESs; and methods for intensifying the level of photosynthesis. In addition to space the authors investigate problems associated with living conditions in dangerous or difficult environmental areas on Earth such as the Arctic and Antarctica, deserts and mountains.
Download or read book Gravitational Biology I written by Markus Braun and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes what is currently known about gravity sensing and response mechanisms in microorganisms, fungi, lower and higher plants; starting from the historical eye-opening experiments from the 19th century up to today’s extremely rapid advancing cellular, molecular and biotechnological research. All forms of life are constantly exposed to gravity and it can be assumed that almost all organisms have developed sensors and respond in one way or the other to the unidirectional acceleration force,this books shows us some of these different ways. The book is written for plant biologists and microbiologists as well as scientists interested in space and gravitational biology.
