Bioregenerative Life Support Systems

Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS) are integrated systems that use biological processes—such as plants, bacteria, and other organisms—to sustain human life in space or isolated environments. They recycle air, water, and waste, producing oxygen and food while removing carbon dioxide and toxins. These systems mimic Earth's natural cycles to create a self-sustaining environment, reducing reliance on supplies from Earth. By combining biological and engineering technologies, BLSS aim to provide a sustainable, closed-loop habitat for long-duration space missions or remote outposts.
