Abstract

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been developing a highly reliable air revitalization system with less resupply for future manned space missions. This paper describes current and planned development status focusing on CO2 removal system for ISS demonstration.

JAXA considers to have ISS demonstration of CO2 removal system for 1-crew scale.

Ground tests and evaluation of new CO2 adsorbent canister, the lifetime and off-gas characteristics of the developed amine-based adsorbents, design overview of flight model are reported.
