Life support products

Active Thermal Control Systems (ATCS)

Active thermal control parts

Controls the temperature of cabin air and electronic components in an environment that precludes reliance on convective heat transfer.

Air Revitalization System (ARS)

Air revitalization system parts

Controls the oxygen, CO2, trace contaminants and humidity in the cabin air to maintain a habitable environment for the crew.

Oxygen generation

Provides oxygen for crew respiration through water electrolysis.

Universal waste management system

Provides a hygienic solution for collecting and processing crew waste solids and fluids.

Water processing

Processes humidity and crew waste water from operations into potable water for reuse.

Fire Detection and Suppression (FD&S)

Monitors vehicle atmosphere for indications of a fire and extinguishes the fire if one is detected.

Portable life support system

Provides compact ARS and ATCS for the smallest crewed spacecraft: the Space Suit.

Advanced life support

Advanced technology development dedicated to reducing logistics, increasing reliability and “closing the loop” of ECLSS in space. These technologies will enable longer duration missions by maximizing the utilization of available resources.

Power management

Power management and distribution hardware, providing power connectivity from both internal and external power and energy storage sources to crew and service modules subsystem components.
