[Current status of life support systems for cosmonauts and ways of their enhancement in near future].
The paper reviews the results of efforts undertaken so far to develop three types of life support systems: fill-and-draw and physicochemical reclamation systems for space flights of up to one year in duration, and systems for more extended missions. The authors point to the engineering and logistical issues that should be given the highest priority in the next decades.
