Providing photons for food in regenerative life support: A comparative analysis of solar fiber optic and electric light systems
(2020 International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2020-07-31)
Providing photons for food production in a plant-based bioregenerative life support system (BLSS) is a significant component of total system cost. The energy to drive photosynthesis is the dominant factor in system net ...
Atmospheric Dust on Mars: A Review
(47th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2017-07-16)
The Martian environment is characterized by airborne mineral dust extending between the surface and up to 80 km altitude. This dust plays a key role in the climate system and in the atmospheric variability. It is a significant ...
Incorporation of Planetary Protection Knowledge Gaps into Agency Capability Development Planning
(50th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 7/12/2021)
Since its start in 2016, the COSPAR workshop series on "Planetary protection requirements for human extraterrestrial missions" has generated and refined a set of planetary protection (PP) knowledge gaps (KGs) which, if ...
InSight Mars Mission: SEIS Instrument Thermal Design, Testing, and Support to In-Flight Operations and Performances
(49th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2019-07-07)
The Interior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport (InSIGHT) mission goals are the investigation of the internal structure and processes of Mars, relating them to the evolution of other ...
Planetary Protection Requirements for Crewed Missions - An update to the COSPAR Workshop Series
(2020 International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2020-07-31)
Planetary protection (PP) for crewed missions was last addressed during the Apollo era, where PP precautions were taken out of an abundance of caution. For Mars, we just don’t know yet about its indigenous biosphere: It ...
Environmental Control and Life Support for Deep Space Travel
(46th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2016-07-10)
NASA is working with UTAS Space, Land, and Sea to develop concepts that group Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) systems into logical palletized modules allowing for the maximum use of common components and the ...
Thermal Control of Mars Sample in Orbit & During Ascent from Mars
(46th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2016-07-10)
Although NASA has no official plans at this time for a mission to return samples from Mars, the Program Formulation Office of the Mars Exploration Program sponsors ongoing mission concept studies, systems analyses, and ...
A Discussion of Integrated Life Support and In Situ Resource Utilization Architectures for Mars Surface Missions
(48th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2018-07-08)
Life support on the International Space Station is made possible by a combination of technologies to ensure the availability of clean water and air for the crew. Resources, including water and oxygen, are partially recovered ...
