Going to make this simple, but Warframes should have type-1 Self sustenance, amongst a few other types.
At the moment, the general concensus is that Warframes don't have type 1 self sustenance because they seemingly require life support in Survival type missions. However, I think that the idea should be dropped as Game Mechanics/Outlier, because in every other scenario, the Warframes can survive in space, as well as handle the transition from breathable atmosphere to space without issues.
Evidence
Currently, the only counter evidence for type-1 self sustenance are survival missions, which claim that Warframes need life support to survive. However, there are multiple reasons why this doesn't stand as legitimate grounds for denying Type-1 SS to warframes.

Evidence
- In Archwing missions, Warframes can function in non-breathable areas such as space and underwater for an indefinite period (Note that the Archwings themselves do not provide any breathing aid, they merely allow for Warframes to fly in space or swim through water, as they can transition from space to atmospheres and vice versa without any complications, only needing Archwings to move about properly.)
- There are multiple missions AND story events where Warframes fight in area's where they are exposed to space or a lack of atmosphere (such as the New War), and can continue to function. This includes but not limited to being close to the ACTUAL SUN.
- They should scale to the infestation who have shown Type-1 Self sustenance themselves.

- As mentioned previously, Warframes can survive in space in multiple mission types as well as story missions, meaning they logically wouldn't be affected if Warframes suddenly lost breathable atmosphere in Survival missions.
- On a reverse note, if Warframes need life support, they would die in any scene where they are ejected into space (such as the Archwing story quest and Jordas Quest) or be severly hampered by it.
- On that note, the Survival Missions should likely be seen in general as Game Mechanics that allow for the Survival Missions to function the way they do. They were introduced back in update 13.0 of the game, and there has since been many story events and missions that show contrarian feats to how the Survival mission types function.
- There are also enemies in those missions that show no life support equipment on their beings (such as breathable masks and other equipment), yet continue to be alive despite life support shutting down in those mission types
- Aside from Grineer and Corpus (who just simply shut off life support), the Infested means of forcing life support is to release toxic spores into the Warframes area. However, this can still be seen as canon, as the Isolation vault missions show that Warframe are susceptible to powerful toxins that can melt through Warframe armour, which is similar to Infested-Survival missions.
