The objective of the conceptual design study is to define requirements and generate a conceptual design for a Modular Biowaste Monitoring System (BMS) for specifically supporting SHUTTLE life science experimental and diagnostic programs. Table 1-1 lists the general performance requirements for the system. These requirements were expanded, with the assistance of the NASA Technical Monitor, into a detail performance requirements specification.nTable 1-2 summarizes results of the conceptual design study. As noted, the modular concept as applied to the BMS is feasible and will permit scaling the system capability to fit the need for a specific SHUTTLE mission. Two independent baseline subsystems are recommended, a urine S/S for sine collection and volume measurement and a feces S/S for feces collection and mass measurement.
