1993 KSC Research and Technology Report
Life Sciences
The Life Sciences Technology program at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) supports the development of advanced technologies for application in long-term human habitation in space. This effort is directed toward ensuring crew health, improving personnel comfort and safety, and improving operational efficiency in Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) biomass production, food processing, and preparation. The near-term focus of this program is CELSS resource recovery and biomass processing improvement techniques. The long-term focus will concentrate more on production improvement, emphasizing supply-line economics.
