Potential Applications

The TCPS system has a wide range of potential applications beyond space exploration. It could be used in a variety of industries, including:

• Waste management: The TCPS system could be used to convert solid waste into a usable form, reducing the volume and weight of waste disposal.
• Life support systems: The system could be used to recover water and air from the waste stream, reducing the need for resupply missions.
• Radiation shielding: The tiles produced by the TCPS system could be used as radiation shielding material, reducing the need for additional shielding.
• Propulsion: The system could be used to produce fuel or other propellants from the waste stream, reducing the need for resupply missions.
