Life Support and Air Recycling
Life support and air recycling are critical technologies for space missions, as they enable the survival of astronauts and crew members in space.
Companies like NASA, the ESA, and private ventures are developing advanced life support systems for space applications. These technologies include:
- Closed-loop life support systems: These involve recycling air, water, and other resources in space to minimize waste and maximize resource utilization.
- Advanced air recycling technologies: These involve recovering and reusing oxygen and other gases in space.
- Air revitalization systems: These involve removing carbon dioxide and other gases from the air and releasing oxygen and other gases.
