THE WORK WILL DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO NASA GOAL OF SUSTAINABLE LOW COST HABITATION LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS. IT WILL PRODUCE A VERIFIED METHOD OF RELIABLY STARTING BIOREACTORS IN RELEVANT MICROGRAVITY (MICRO-G) ENVIRONMENT. IT WILL DOCUMENT BIOREACTOR FUNCTION AND OPERATION IN RELEVANT MICRO-G ENVIRONMENT. IT WILL PRODUCE AN OPTIMIZED/VERIFIED DESIGN OF A MICRO-G COMPATIBLE MABR. IT WILL ESTABLISH THE ABILITY TO USE AN INTEGRATED GREEN PRETREAT FLUSH/COLLECTION PROCESS WITH A BIOREACTOR AS PART OF AN INTEGRATED WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM. IT WILL ALSO DEFINE MABR REACTOR LIFE SPAN AND ASSOCIATED AGEING IMPACTS. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL ENABLE A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE USE OF BIOREACTORS IN PARTIAL GRAVITY (E.G. EARLY PLANETARY BASE SYSTEM) INCLUDING RELIABILITY INTEGRATION CONSUMABLES MAINTENANCE AMONG OTHERS. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR A REALISTIC ASSESSMENT OF THE BENEFITS/COSTS OF INCORPORATING BIOREACTORS INTO AN EPB LIFE SUPPORT ARCHITECTURE FOR TRADE STUDIES AND AN ASSESSMENT OF THE POTENTIAL FOR BIOREACTOR INCLUSION IN FUTURE MICRO-G LIFE SUPPORT ARCHITECTURES BEYOND CURRENT ROAD MAPS TO ENABLE SUSTAINABLE HUMAN HABITATION IN SPACE.
