When each additional percentage translates into millions of euros in savings.
Advanced Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) are crucial to optimize the safety, health, and performance of humans in space. A closed system that can reclaim and recycle all water and other waste alongside the water quality is vital both for long and short-duration manned space trips.
Hydromars aims to solve the following pain points in the domain of technology development for space infrastructure and, specifically, for space-based water purification and recovery technology:
Hydromars solution can be scaled up or down to any size (even to a shoebox similar to Hydro4M2). It can be retrofitted into an existing spacecraft water system or function as a standalone unit.
Long duration missions pose unique challenges in providing sustainable food system. Due to resource constraints and food acceptability issues, relying solely on Earth resupply missions is impractical. In situ food production is essential for sustained space travel.
Currently, there are technological gaps in macro-nutrient-rich crop production, post-harvest management, and cohesive bioeconomic strategies. To address these challenges, Hydromars develops closed-loop water management system with potential to interlink with all major food production functions.
Following the conclusion of the International Space Station Program (ISS), operations will transition to commercially owned and operated destinations to foster economic growth, ensure strategic presence, support continued access to technology development, and pave the way for future human exploration.
Hydromars is preparing to supply closed water systems to the world's first commercial space stations in 2026-2027.
