When each additional percentage translates into millions of euros in savings.
Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) technologies are vital to ensuring the safety, health, and performance of astronauts during space missions. A fully closed-loop system capable of reclaiming and recycling water and other waste, while maintaining optimal water quality, is essential for both short- and long-duration human spaceflights.
Hydromars is focused on addressing key challenges in space-based water purification and recovery systems, such as:
Hydromars’ innovative systems are designed to be highly adaptable, with scalability ranging from compact, shoebox-sized units (e.g., Hydro4M2) to larger configurations. Our solutions can seamlessly integrate into existing spacecraft water systems as retrofits or function independently as standalone units.
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.
