Advanced Life Support

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.
