Spacecraft Atmosphere Carbon Dioxide Capture via Deposition

The goal of NASA is to return humans to the surface of the Moon, then journey to Mars and even beyond. To accomplish this, robust life support systems are required to operate without reliance on resupply. The current air revitalization system on the International Space Station (ISS) — the Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA) — utilizes sorbent-based Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) technology.
