Concept of total disposal of biowaste from manned spacecraft by means of electric propulsion concepts; biowaste-electric propulsion offers feasible alternative to space dumping of biowaste, which may be banned by international agreements or may result in biocontamination of scientific experiments, or collection, processing, and packaging of biowaste, which may degrade vehicle system performance and result in excessive weight penalty; biowaste availability, its propellant performance, hardware concepts involved in electric vaporizer thruster systems, and vehicle system performance for typical space mission are explored.
