We dive into the critical technologies that will keep astronauts alive on long-duration missions to Mars and beyond.

Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander explores the sophisticated systems that create habitable environments in the deadly vacuum of space, from air revitalization to food production.

•Discover how oxygen generation systems use electrolysis to split water into breathable oxygen, ensuring crews have a continuous supply of air without reliance on Earth resupply.

•Explore advanced water reclamation technologies that filter and purify every drop of moisture—from humidity to urine—creating closed-loop systems that minimize waste and maximize efficiency.

•Learn about revolutionary food production methods like hydroponics and aeroponics that allow astronauts to grow fresh crops in space, providing nutrition and psychological benefits during years-long missions.

•Understand the sophisticated thermal control systems that maintain comfortable temperatures despite extreme external conditions, using insulation, radiators, and active heating/cooling systems.
