Inspiration Mars ETDU Air Management System Test Results

The Inspiration Mars Environmental Contr ol and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) Technology Demonstration Unit (ETDU) program has completed testing six key elements which enable closed loop life support. Of those six elements, four are included in the Air Management System (AMS): CO2 Reduction Assembly (CRedA), CO2 Removal Assembly (CRemA), Oxygen Production Assembly (OPA), and the Trace Contaminant Control Assembly (TCCA). Each of the four assemblies was tested at the Paragon facilities in Tucson and was shown to meet or exceed the key functional requirements for closed loop life support.
