About
M. Lamantea is a leading figure in bioregenerative life support research, with a primary focus on developing closed-loop ecological systems for long-duration space missions. Her most influential work centers on the functional architecture and development of the CAB (Controllo Ambientale Biorigenerativo) system, a cornerstone of the Italian Space Agency’s Medicine & Biotechnology program. This pioneering study, which has garnered 7 citations, outlines a self-sustaining habitat that integrates biological processes—such as plant growth and waste recycling—to regenerate air, water, and food, reducing reliance on Earth resupply. Lamantea’s contributions are instrumental in advancing the feasibility of human exploration beyond low Earth orbit, addressing critical challenges in environmental control and life support. Her work on CAB represents a significant achievement in space biotechnology, offering a scalable model for future lunar or Martian outposts. Through her research, Lamantea has helped shape the strategic direction of ASI’s scientific agenda, demonstrating how engineered ecosystems can sustain human life in extreme environments. Her findings continue to inform interdisciplinary efforts in astrobiology, engineering, and space medicine.
