Advanced Life Support

Advanced Life Support (ALS) provides technologies for life-sustaining functions inside spacecraft and planetary surface habitats. It includes controlling pressure, temperature and humidity, providing usable water and breathable air, growing food crops, and managing wastes. Research and technology efforts in this area focus on developing efficient and reliable systems technologies, tools, strategies, new methods, models, and requirements for regenerative life support systems. These technologies are designed to maintain an acceptable habitable atmosphere for the crew, provide and recover potable water, maintain habitat thermal balance, process solid wastes, and grow crops that can provide a measure of air and water recycling and crew food.
