This publication contains 36 papers presented at four symposia during the Thirty-first COSPAR Scientific Assembly held in Birmingham, UK during 1996. Papers reflect the following symposia themes: life science support system studies; production, processing and waste recycling in a CELSS (Controlled Ecological Life Support System); biological effects of closure and recycling in a CELSS; nutrition and productivity for bioregenerative life support; integration of bioregenerative and physical/chemical processes for space life support systems. Findings presented in this volume will be a valuable resource for CELSS researchers for many years to come.

Paperback. This publication contains 19 papers on extraterrestrial complex organic chemistry, in direct relation to prebiotic chemistry and exobiology, the study of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the universe. The papers are presented within three main parts. Part I presents the complex organics in interstellar clouds. Part II presents the complex organics in meteorites, interplanetary dust, comets and Mars, and finally part III presents the complex organics in the outer solar system. The papers cover the various aspects of such organic compounds. This includes their physical and chemical nature, approached through experimental simulation (on ground and in Earth orbit) and other studies in the laboratory as well as through theoretical modelling. This also includes their occurrence in the universe, evidenced from remote sensing observations, past, present and future (in particular, through Cassini-Huygens and Rosetta missions).

These papers report on research by the working group IRI during the 1990-92 period, and the use of the IRI 90 computer code - a modelling system that gives monthly averages of electron density, temperature and ionic composition of the ionosphere.
