The Micro-Ecological Life Support Alternative (MELiSSA) program, supported by the European Space Agency (ESA), is a long-term running space research program organized to develop recycling and purification technologies to enable long duration deep space missions. A (bio-)regenerative ecosystem system is used to sustain the crew of astronauts during long-term space missions such as flights to Mars. Within the MELiSSA technological approach micro-organisms are used that have suitable metabolic features and that are useful to efficiently process waste and produce resources including food, water and CO2. During routine safety tests, one of the microorganisms has demonstrated potent LDL-cholesterol lowering capabilities.
