Abstract
Nowadays, there are still many challenges to overcome in order to enable long-termed human space exploration beyond low Earth orbit (LEO) and metabolic resources management (reliable air, water and food supply for the crew) is of utmost importance. Currently, Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) aim to overcome the challenge of constant re-supply from Earth requirement by revitalization of air and water. Here, we provide an overview of the existing and operating ECLSS on-board the International Space Station (ISS) as well as identify potential areas of technology development for biological ECLSS for long-term human space missions focusing on the inclusion of waste treatment and food production.
