Life support systems are a crucial component of crewed spacecraft designs and habitation systems. This textbook provides an introduction to the LSS capabilities that sustain humans living and working in space, catering to undergraduate and postgraduate students alike. The book begins by delving into the fundamentals of space physiology, laying the foundation for understanding the various components of life support systems. It encompasses detailed descriptions of atmospheric pressure monitoring, oxygen maintenance, waste management, water recycling, fire detection and suppression, and the evolution of life support systems over time.
Chapters in the book are dedicated to exploring these topics in depth, accompanied by learning objectives, summary sections, and review questions. Additionally, the book examines analogs for spaceflight life support systems, such as nuclear submarines and our natural life support system on Earth, to enhance the reader's understanding of the complexities involved.
Overall, this textbook serves as an accessible primer for students seeking to gain a comprehensive understanding of spacecraft life support systems. Its comprehensive coverage, engaging content, and practical examples make it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this field.
