Selection of Plants for Biotechnical Life-Support Systems

The paper concerns the selection of plants for a space green-house. Methodical approaches to compile plant sets using specific and standard characteristics are described and the task in connection with the selection of plants sets is formulated. Principles for developing algorithms employed to design acceptable variant plant sets are considered, two types of algorithms permitting the formation of the vegetational and vitaminous parts of a daily diet with the help of plant sets are described.

It is also demonstrated how the methodology of compiling plant sets is being realized.
