Continued Advancement of Supported Liquid Membranes for Carbon Dioxide Control in Extravehicular Activity Applications
(45th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2015-07-12)
The development of a new, robust, portable life support system (PLSS) is currently a high NASA priority to support longer and safer extravehicular activity (EVA) missions that will be necessary as space travel extends to ...
Next Generation Life Support Project Status
(44th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2014-07-13)
Next Generation Life Support (NGLS) is one of more than 20 technology development projects sponsored by NASA’s Game Changing Development Program. The NGLS Project develops selected life support technologies needed for ...
U.S. Spacesuit Knowledge Capture Accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2014
(45th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2015-07-12)
Since its 2007 inception, the NASA U.S. Spacesuit Knowledge Capture (SKC) Program has shared historical spacesuit information with engineers and other technical team members to expand their understanding of the spacesuit’s ...
Swing Bed Scrubber Design and Test Integration Results for Carbon Dioxide Removal in the Ventilation Test Loop 2.0
(48th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2018-07-08)
NASA is developing an advanced portable life support system (PLSS) to meet the needs of a new NASA advanced space suit. The PLSS provides the necessary oxygen, ventilation, and thermal protection for an astronaut performing ...
Sensor Integrated Pilot Mask for On-Board, Real-Time, Monitoring of Pilot Breathing Gas
(48th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2018-07-08)
A pilot’s job is unique in the demands it places on the human body, and many serious conditions can arise to impact pilot performance and pose a threat to mission completion and pilot safety. The gas environment of the ...
Non-intrusive, Distributed Gas Sensing Technology for Advanced Spacesuits
(45th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2015-07-12)
Chemical sensors for monitoring gas composition, including oxygen, humidity, carbon dioxide, and trace contaminants, are needed to characterize and validate spacesuit design and operating parameters. This paper reports on ...
Carbon-Based Regenerable Sorbents for the Combined Carbon Dioxide and Ammonia Removal for the Primary Life Support System (PLSS)
(44th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2014-07-13)
Results are presented on the development of reversible sorbents for the combined carbon dioxide and trace-contaminant (TC) removal for use in Extravehicular Activities (EVAs). Since ammonia is the most important TC to be ...
