Description
Book Synopsis
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:Review Quotes
' ... may well become a standard textbook, for the pioneers of our first home beyond Earth.'
Arthur C. Clarke, CBE, Colombo, Sri Lanka
' The book provides a very concise and pleasing summary of what is known and what is needed for the further development of life support systems.'
Spaceflight, January 1995
' A book which should be on the desk of every scientist and engineer working on regenerative life support systems.'
Dr Donald Henninger, NASA-Johnson Space Center
' ... remarkable book not only covers life support technology ..., but also serves as a primer on principles of ecology and the nature of the space environment. It serves both as a reference for professionals and as an introductory text for those new to the field.'
Dr Wendell Mendell, NASA-Johnson Space Center
' I recommend it to all the future aerospace engineers and to the confirmed space engineers who want to be informed about the specific field of space engineering.'
Dr Christian Tamponnet, ESA-ESTEC, Noordwijk
