Major Themes Include
Enabling a Sustainable Presence in Space
Maintaining a permanent presence in space is untenable without a degree of self-sufficiency.
We discuss technologies that contribute to mission longevity by enhancing crew health, closing material or energy loops, and replacing or reimagining physio-chemical life support systems
Closed Ecological Systems For Deep Space
The understanding and development of artificial ecosystems is critical to achieve long term goals in life support and physical and mental health needs for crew.
A major goal of this workshop is to coalesce research on closed ecological systems: highlight applicable existing research, identify gaps in knowledge, and coordinate future high-priority research.
Crop Production and Waste Recycling
Closing the material loop in food production and waste recycling systems is necessary to reduce reliance on regular resupplies.
Extensive space agriculture will be a prerequisite for space habitats with permanent residents. Topics of interest include: improving yield, designing with automation, crop cultivar selection, water and nutrient delivery systems.
Workshop Overview
The 2022 Space Ecology Workshop (SEW) was a one day virtual event. The timeline for the proceedings is outlined generally below.
The 2023 Space Ecology Workshop timeline is still under deliberation.
Establish the goals of the workshop. Introduce organizers and sponsors.
What have we learned? What do we still need to accomplish? In this session, we will validate and refine R&D needs and gaps.
Collaboratively build a roadmap of required research and technologies. Identify obstacles to realizing our vision and brainstorm solutions.
Establish contact and channels for continued collaboration. Define the next steps we will take to further space ecology.
