As human exploration moves beyond low Earth orbit, innovative life support and resource production systems become forerunners for human colonization. Plasma systems allow for complex chemical processes while mitigating consumable needs. Plasma technology and applications can redefine the space environment. With this, scientists at NASA are looking to close known space technology gaps and create a paradigm shift in space-based applications. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is exploring the use of low-temperature plasma for applications in agriculture, sanitation, regolith reduction, waste gasification, water activation, and nutrient recovery techniques. Using low temperature plasmas, we report on the success criteria and experimental results for plasma applications for crewed transit and planetary habitation.
