Abstract
The Four Bed Carbon Dioxide Scrubber technology demonstration is presently operating onboard the International Space Station after being launched in August of 2021 and activated in October. This work describes the ground and flight performance of the 4BCO2 and the methods used to determine performance on the ISS where limited sensor data is available.
