Crew & Life Support
Atmosphere, water, food, waste management, and habitability for sustained missions.
Crew & Life Support keeps the human environment breathable, clean, habitable, and resilient during normal operations and contingency modes.
♙
Atmosphere Control
Maintains breathable air quality and pressure.
♙
Water Recovery
Filtration and recycling for potable water.
♙
Food & Habitability
Nutrition, plants, hygiene, and livable environments.
♙
Waste Management
Closed-loop processing minimizes waste and resupply burden.
Mobile view uses a protected minimum width so pages can be zoomed instead of crushed.
