Advantages of a low-oxygen environment in space cabins.

The advantages of having a low-oxygen environment in space cabins are discussed. The major advantage is a sharply reduced fire hazard, which is a major threat in manned space flights. At 1 atm, for example, 15% O2 (9,000 ft altitude equivalent) would not support most fires and could accommodate the crew with respect to hypoxia, decompression sickness (DCS), and other requirements. Chronic exposure to such a hypoxic environment (altitude acclimatization) could improve major areas of crew health and safety including alleviating deconditioning effects, decreasing susceptibility to DCS, and improving tolerance to severe hypoxia.

A human breathing simulator designed to test the life support system of a hyperbaric tent.

A self contained life support system which can maintain a breathable atmosphere for up to eight hours was recently developed for use with a portable hyperbaric tent. To facilitate further life support system studies, the practicality of a human breathing simulator (HBS), which would remove oxygen and release carbon dioxide at the same rate as a human, was tested. The HBS consists of a cylinder of carbon dioxide bled into the chamber via a flow regulator and a Vanadous bubbler to chemically remove oxygen from the chamber. First experiments show that the HBS works, but that a larger chemical system is needed to remove oxygen at the desired rate. Scale up calculations have been completed.
