Inventor
A method of purifying internal air, characterized in that the method comprises: 1) the concentration of carbon dioxide present in air in a carbon dioxide concentrator, wherein carbon dioxide in air interacts with a nutrient solution for algae containing catalysts; 2) the conversion of the carbon dioxide into bicarbonates by means of the catalysts; 3) the feed solution in a fotation reactor to regenerate the nutrient solution, the catalyst containing a microbial consortium, the catalyst being regenerated and the bicarbonate being converted to oxygen by photosynthetic activity of microalgae; 4) separating microbial consortium from the feed solution containing the regenerated catalyst in a mobile harvesting unit wherein the microbial consortium is isolated and concentrated in a system system;5) Returning the feed solution to the regenerated catalyst to the carbon dioxide concentrator; 6) enriching the nutrient solution with essential nutrients for culturing microalgae; 7) repeating steps 1 through 6.

Abstract of science paper https://hal.science/hal-05734396/

Long-term human space exploration requires regenerative life support systems, such as those developed within the European Space Agency’s MELiSSA program, in which the cyanobacterium Limnospira indica is investigated as a biological component capable of CO₂ fixation, O₂ production, and generation of edible biomass. The Arthrospira-B and C (ArtB, ArtC) experiments conducted aboard the International Space Station (ISS) aimed to evaluate how L. indica responds to spaceflight conditions. The Arthrospira‑B (Art‑B) experiment, successfully deployed on the ISS in 2017, demonstrated the potential of L. indica to produce oxygen and biomass in space under batch culture conditions and a fixed light intensity. Launched to the ISS aboard SpaceX CRS-31 in November 2024, the Art-C experiment builds upon this work by providing real-time monitoring of oxygen production rates and biomass concentration, deduced from gas pressure measurements. Unlike Art-B, Art-C operates with a semi-continuous power supply and studies the impact of variations in light intensity. The ArtC cultures were maintained on the ISS for 2.5 months in four fully autonomous photobioreactors, while four identical reactors operated simultaneously on Earth as ground controls. This study sought to compare the oxygen productivity and the characteristics of biomass produced in microgravity with those obtained under identical conditions on the ground. The photobioreactor model previously developed for the Art‑B experiment was extended to account for the semi‑continuous operating regime implemented in the Art‑C experiment. In addition, oxygen inhibition was incorporated into the growth model of L. indica. As with the Art‑B experiment, the updated model successfully fits the Art‑C experimental data for both flight and ground‑based reactors. Model comparison with measurements suggests that, for flight reactors, inhibition by oxygen partial pressure (pO₂) must be considered, whereas for ground reactors, growth limitation is primarily driven by pH. This work has been made possible through the authors involvement in the MELiSSA project, ESA’s life support system program and through the ARTEMiSS project (supported by ESA/ PRODEX and BELSPO). The authors also thank the MELiSSA partners, as well as the engineering, operation and support teams from Redwire, BIOTESC, MUSC, and ESA, who made this space flight experiment possible.

The qualification campaign tested both the FPS's performance and its ability to withstand the harsh conditions of space, ensuring it meets the requirements of the European Cooperation for Space Standardisation (ECSS).

The prototype – officially called the Engineering Qualification Model – has now been handed over to Redwire Europe, where it will undergo further testing alongside the other elements of the QKDSat quantum payload.

This achievement marks a significant milestone for DAS Photonics and the European quantum communications ecosystem, as it represents the most advanced qualified Faint Pulse Source with embedded security mechanisms in Europe for a satellite-based QKD system.

No mention of the ROSA, PIL-BOX. But he did say meniscus and can make organs.

Paragon and Redwire have teamed to co-develop ECLSS for commercial space stations. One such system is a microgravity human waste collection system (i.e., a space toilet) which would then be paired with Paragon’s Urine Processor (PUP)

Hey Redwire what do you mean by "crystallized 45 unique compounds"? Do you mean unique to space? or just 45 different compounds? and do they have utility?

Will I be seeing 45 patents in the near future? or maybe just 4-6?

IN JULY 2026, SPACEMD SIGNED HISTORIC AGREEMENT TO
PURCHASE AN ENTIRE SPACEX STARFALL SPACECRAFT,
ENABLING FIRST OF ITS KIND COMMERCIAL MISSION
SpaceMD's inaugural Starfall mission is slated for launch in
late 2028 and is expected to have the capacity to carry up to
32 PIL-BOXes, making it the largest dedicated commercial
microgravity research mission in history. This agreement,
builds on the success of the more than 50 PIL-BOXes
launched to the ISS since the inaugural PIL-01 mission in
November 2023.

"Called Galo (Global Coverage All-weather Low Earth Orbit Observation), it provides for the deployment of several dozen satellites in low orbit, intended for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Until now, Brussels relied heavily on the French satellites"

"On the industrial level, the Walloon company Aerospacelab, specialized in the production of micro-satellites, is expected to participate in the design of the platforms. This dynamic is a continuation of another project, Matteo, the first Belgian military satellite entrusted in March to the American Redwire in collaboration with Aerospacelab, thus preparing the country’s future space capabilities."

"A link in a much larger rearmament

The Galo programme is only one part of a much broader overhaul of the Belgian military apparatus, initiated by the government of Prime Minister Bart De Wever. Faced with the return of war in Europe since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the American demands urging Europeans to assume more of their own security within NATO, Belgium has significantly increased its budgetary ambitions."

"The country has thus crossed the threshold of 2% of GDP spent on Defence, with an annual budget increased from 8 to 12.74 billion euros in 2025, and a trajectory targeting 2.5% of GDP by 2034-2035. An investment plan of 34 billion euros is planned by 2034, the net effort of the current legislature being estimated at 17 billion euros."

"Any benefit to the arms industry

This rise directly benefits the Belgian industrial ecosystem, with nearly 900 companies paid in the armaments and more than 16,000 jobs. Within the Federal Equity and Investment Corporation, the State has created a 2 billion-euro Defense Fund to structure this sector, particularly in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and aerospace."
