Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n 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: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy life support system development and biosphere research? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow does our natural life support system, the biosphere, work? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the environmental conditions for life support systems in space? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the fundamental terms and requirements of life support? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhich physicochemical life support subsystems currently exist? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhich are the potential bioregenerative life support technologies of the future? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are life support systems of future planetary habitats going to look like? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the experiences of the largest artificial ecosystem - Biosphere 2? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the potential terrestrial benefits of life support development? £\/LIST£\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   ' ... may well become a standard textbook, for the pioneers of our first home beyond Earth.' \u003cbr\u003e Arthur C.
