Review of Advanced Life Support Developments for Humansin Interplanetary and Planetary Environments

Space stations have evolved as an experimental platform for studying long duration human spaceflights, effects of space environments on living things including humans, zero gravity studies on life forms and as docking stations for interplanetary travel in the future. Though substantial progress has been made in developing human habitable environment in the space craft and space stations, in the Low Earth Orbit, still studies are required and are being done in creating and designing habitat to adapt to long term duration space travel and for planetary outpost in alien environments like moon, mars and beyond. The most important issue of such long term interplanetary missions and planetary outposts called extra terrestrial base stations has been the adaptability and survivability of humans in extreme space and planetary environments. The proposed work is review of the issues involved with such Adaptive Life Support Systems humans in interplanetary missions.factors and ergonomics in designing an intelligent operating theatre (IOT) which incorporates robotics systems for operation, patient monitoring, data storage and communication systems.
