- <p>This white paper introduces the AeroBubble Life Support System (ABLS), a novel concept for spacecraft environmental control. ABLS proposes the use of self-contained, gas-permeable membranes to facilitate oxygen storage, CO₂ absorption, and water recycling, reducing reliance on traditional mechanical-heavy life support systems. The system has been modeled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, demonstrating its potential efficiency for long-duration space missions. This report provides a conceptual framework for assessing ABLS and invites further research into its feasibility for aerospace applications.</p> <p>While the principles of gas exchange, water recovery, and passive fluid dynamics are well-grounded in established science, ABLS remains a <strong>theoretical concept requiring experimental validation</strong>. Key considerations include <strong>material durability in a space environment, long-term gas diffusion efficiency, and scalability for varying crew sizes</strong>. This study does not present ABLS as a fully developed solution but as an <strong>innovative hypothesis</strong> for exploration. The objective is to encourage further testing and discussion within the scientific and engineering communities to assess its viability as a <strong>next-generation life support alternative</strong>.</p>
