THERMAL AND ATMOSPHERIC CONTROL IN BIOASTRONAUTIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

The design and development of thermal and atmospheric control systems for spacecraft to orbit large primates is discussed. The evolution of design concepts, the analytical methods employed, and problems encountered during the development of such systems are summarized. Studies of systems suitable for manned spacecraft are discussed, with particular emphasis on the nearly closed regenerable-type system.
