The FY2022 Development Status of CO2 Removal System for ISS Demonstration

Abstract

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is developing a CO2 removal system to strengthen core life-support technologies for future crewed space missions. The ISS demonstrator of the CO2 removal system (DRCS) is being developed as one of the activities demonstrating Gateway's CO2 removal system (CDRS) and is scheduled to be launched in FY2023. This paper reports the results of the DRCS Bread Board Model test and the Proto Flight Model's development status.
