A system analysis of sources and sinks for nitrogen diluent in a closed spacecraft environment has been carried out. Methods of transporting nitrogen, free or chemically bound, into orbit and the fate of nitrogen in spacecraft wastes has been carried out. The data indicates that in a closed CELSS environment, transportation of plant nutrients and reduction of waste material to nitrogen has many advantages from a process and penalty perspective.
