Authors Abstract
Content
A new type of oxygen sensor is being developed for potential use in future manned space missions. This sensor incorporates two independent measurement schemes using dual electrochemical cells formed in a common body of solid electrolyte-zirconia. A combination of potentio-metric and coulometric measurements yields accurate and fast response to cabin atmosphere oxygen. Means for self-calibration, fault detection and diagnosis by computer operation are discussed.
