Advanced Air Revitalization for Optimized Crew and Plant Environments

For long-duration space explorations such as the advanced manned missions to the moon and Mars, optimized environmental conditions are essential. This approach will not only maximize the efficiencies of the crew and other systems, but also minimize the requirements for power, weight, volume and expendables. Life Systems, working with NASA-JSC, has been investigating ways to apply various physical, chemical and electrochemical methods for this purpose.⁽¹⁾*
