Biotechnology is already playing an vital role in sustaining the life support system for long space missions such as recycling waste into oxygen, water, and food.
Now in the future the innovation needed to be done in following fields
1. Cost and Power efficient, Bio-regeneration:
Bio-regeneration is operating currently in the space missions but it requires large power.Thus innovation in the future for power efficient methods may extend the period of spacecrafts while exploring.
2. Challanges in biological processing of resources in a manned mission makes a space for innovation of technology must be done for solid waste, volatiles and minerals.
3.Right now complex large scale ‘closed ecosystem’ are underdevelopment to replicate physiochemical life support system
The innovation here will significantly drive the space agencies towards longer manned mission in deep outer space.
Biotechnology has vast gap between it’s current equipments to what needed in future which clearly make a broad space for innovations for missions in space as well as on earth to enhance knowledge about space and quality of life on earth respectively.
