SALAD has officially launched the updated version of BioSim.

BioSim is an advanced simulation platform for Bioregenerative Life Support Systems, originally developed by NASA and TRACLabs. The system models critical components of long-duration space habitation, including crop cultivation, crew health management, system maintenance, and failure scenario analysis.

Here is the link to the platform: [https://biosim.saladproject.org](https://biosim.saladproject.org)

This is brilliant, and so much fun! There are so many lessons that modeling tools like this can teach us 🙂 Don’t forget to take notes as you run experiments so we can discuss in future AWG meetings. Cheers
