Abstract

The ISS (International Space Station) program is investigating methods to increase CO2 (carbon dioxide) removal on ISS in order to support an increased number of astronauts at a future date. The CDRA-4EU (Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly – Engineering Unit) system at NASA MSFC (Marshall Space Flight Center) was tested at maximum fan settings to evaluate CO2 removal rate and power consumption at those settings.
