Space Station Live: Space-Proven Air Scrubber
Published on March 27, 2017
NASA Commentator Pat Ryan talks with Dr. Jeffrey Sweterlitsch of the Crew and Thermal Systems division at NASA’s Johnson Space Center about the Amine Swingbed, a carbon dioxide removal system designed for use on the new Orion spacecraft that has gotten its first checkout in space on the International Space Station. Amine Swingbed now functions as back-up system to the station’s primary CO2 removal system, and is an example of how the station has been used as a testbed for new technologies that will support future space exploration efforts.
