Abstract

One of the main challenges of human space exploration is the development of artificial ecosystems, which can be used as life support systems (LSSs) to enable long-duration human space missions. In an open LSS, no food generation or waste treatment is provided in space, and supplies from Earth are necessary. According to Figure 1, considering the approximate metabolic consumables and hygiene water as well as the number of crewmembers [1], a huge mass would be required to be transported from Earth, which brings the necessity of a regenerative or closed LSS [2]-[4]. Closed ecological systems (CESs) are ecosystems without any matter exchange with the outside environment [2]. The most advanced humanmade CESs include Advanced Life Support System Test Bed (ALSSTB) (the NASA Johnson Space Research Center, Houston, Texas), Biosphere 2 (Oracle, Arizona), BIOS-3 (Krasnoyarsk, Russia-no longer operative), the Closed Ecology Experiment Facility (CEEF) complex (Rokkasho, Japan), the Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative (MELiSSA) Pilot Plant (MPP) (Universitat Aut?noma de Barcelona, Spain), and the Concordia Antarctica Station, which are different from one another with respect to their complexity, size, and degree of closure [2]. CESs are necessary for long-term manned space missions, which aim to minimize support from Earth. They are composed of several specific compartments that, together, reproduce the main functionalities of an ecological system in a continuous mode of operation and under controlled conditions.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The hierarchical architecture for space closed ecosystems can be scaled up to include the interconnection of several ecosystems.

    “The hierarchical architecture can also be scaled up to include the interconnection of several ecosystems.”

    From New Horizons for Microgrids: From Rural Electrification to Space Applications (2023) · cites this paper as [83]

    The indexed copy returns publication metadata and the paper’s title, but no passage from the article discussing whether its hierarchical architecture can connect several ecosystems. Searches for “interconnection of several ecosystems” and for scaling up the architecture found no passage addressing that point. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
