Conclusions

DSLS are expected to meet more stringent requirements

Long duration missions will rely on Adv ISS Life Support technologies

Synergistic, multifunctional and closed-loop systems are needed forsustainable life in deep spaceThe ISS and Beyond LEO test beds shall be exploited as supportingplatform for DSLS developmentLong duration testing (on Earth and in µg conditions) is needed to verifylow failure rates and maintainability
