Development of Nitrogen Recycling Strategies for Bioregenerative Life Support Systems in Space

To enable long-distance space travel, the development of a highly efficient and robust system to recover nutrients from waste streams is imperative. The inability of the current physicochemical-based environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) on the ISS to produce food in situ and to reco...
