Editorial Reviews: Product Description Spaceflight Life Support and Biospherics is the introduction to space life support systems and artificial ecosystems that has so far been lacking. It is a source of information for everyone involved in the life support system design and development process - engineers, scientists, and students - as well as all those who are simply interested in this existing discipline. The structure of this book is such that it gives step-by-step answers to the basic questions concerning life support systems on any scale - from small microbial systems to the Earth's biosphere: Why life support system development and biosphere research? How does our natural life support system, the biosphere, work? What are the environmental conditions for life support systems in space? What are the fundamental terms and requirements of life support? Which physicochemical life support subsystems currently exist? Which are the potential bioregenerative life support technologies of the future? What are life support systems of future planetary habitats going to look like? What are the experiences of the largest artificial ecosystem - Biosphere 2? What are the potential terrestrial benefits of life support development? /LIST

Customer Reviews: Very useful April 18, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I bought this book as research for a paper on water and food production on long-term space missions. The book is well written, easy to read, and packed with lots of good information. Very useful. A very good introduction and summary to the topic August 30, 1996 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Spaceflight life support and biospherics is a very well written bookthat gives engineers, scientists and students all information neededfor this topic. It may become, or it is already, the Standard-Handbook on life support systems for space.
