Recent developments in the International Space Community have shown there is
a rising interest in the human exploration of outer space. In particular, the objective
of sending a manned mission to Mars by 2030 has been set. The feasibility of such
a mission will require Life Support Systems (LSS) able to provide vital elements to
the exploration crew in an autonomous, self-sustained manner, as re-supply from
Earth will not be possible. Bio-regenerative LSS (BLSS) are considered to be the
LSS technology alternatives that can meet this demand. Developing effective BLSS
is a challenge for the Control community because of the high degree of automation,
indeterminism, non-linearity and total instability. Agent-based approaches are being
analysed as a suitable means of overcoming these difficulties.
