A Complex of Systems for Oxygen Recovery Aboard a Manned Space Station

As space flights tend to be more prolonged problems of oxygen generation by physicochemical means assume greater importance. The paper deals with the water, electrolysis process, CO₂ concentration and processing organisation schemes. Some operational results of the system for electrolysis of aqueous alkali solution and CO₂ removal on Mir space station are presented. Expected characteristics of the complex system for oxygen generation from carbon dioxide are considered.
