Expanding the human experience into the far reaches of space will require the
development of regenerable life support systems. A key element of these systems
is a means for solid waste resource recovery.
AFR conducts research and product development on the use of pyrolysis
processing and incineration as a method for the conversion of solid waste
materials into energy and other useful byproducts.
