The Breadboard project is developing a one-person Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS). Initial focus was the plant growth facility, with other modules scaling up for integrated life support.

Area of Science:

  • Space exploration
  • Bioregenerative life support systems

Background:

  • The Breadboard project aims to create a one-person Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS).
  • The plant growth facility (Biomass Production Chamber - BPC) has been the primary focus for the past two years.
  • Other CELSS modules (food preparation, biomass processing, resource recovery) are being scaled up from laboratory research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline design requirements for the Biomass Production Chamber (BPC).
  • To detail control and monitoring subsystems for the BPC.
  • To present engineering and biological test results of the BPC.

Main Methods:

  • Engineering and biological testing of the Biomass Production Chamber (BPC).
  • Conducting three wheat production evaluations within the BPC.
