Photobioreactor: oxygen and a source of nutrition for astronauts

1 May 2019

Airbus is bringing an experimental system to the International Space Station in the form of the photobioreactor (PBR). The PBR, developed by the University of Stuttgart and built by Airbus on behalf of DLR is designed to convert part of the CO2 extracted by the ’LSR’ Life Support Rack on board the ISS into oxygen.
