https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actaastro.2025.12.057
Note: From the abstract: “Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS) are a key emerging technology to enable long term space exploration. However, small-scale implementations are difficult to realize and their behavior under space conditions remains scarcely investigated. This study aims at developing and evaluating the smallest self-sustaining, controlled microecosystem suitable for deployment as a CubeSat payload.”

Microbial purification of perchlorate in a simulated Martian water to ensure its plant cultivation for Martian BLSS .
Acta Astronaut. 2025 Dec 30. Online ahead of print.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actaastro.2025.12.059
Note: From the abstract: “In-situ utilization of Martian water resources is imperative for sustained long-term exploration missions. To address perchlorate contamination that hinders its use in Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS), this study developed a simulated Martian water (SMW) formula (validated composition, containing 500 mg/L ClO4- and characteristic ions) and evaluated its microbial purification and subsequent plant cultivation potential.”
