Heretofore life support systems and rocket propulsion systems have been considered as independent subsystems of manned spacecraft; integrated waste management/rocket propulsion system concept, developed by Rocket Research Corp, demonstrated that human waste products can form propellant ingredient and provide propulsion, and be effective means of removing and sterilizing spacecraft waste; propellant investigated is formed primarily from raw feces, metal powder, and water soluble oxidizer; carbon from carbon dioxide reduction system, used charcoal filters, evaporator wicks, and food wrappers may be included as propellant ingredients; samples of feces generated during four-man, 60-day space chamber simulation experiment have been obtained, analyzed, and incorporated into propellant formulations.
