Episode 179: Life Support Systems: From Space Station to Orion
['Andres D. Almeida']
NASA Science
Host Andres Almeida: Astronauts aboard the International Space Station depend on life support systems that provide clean air, drinkable water, and a safe, livable environment.
Today, some of these space station technologies have been adapted for Artemis – specifically, aboard the Orion crew capsule that takes humans farther into deep space than ever before.
In this episode of Small Steps, Giant Leaps, we’re joined by Paul Boehm, Orion Crew Support and Thermal Systems manager at Johnson Space Center in Houston.
He’ll tell us how lessons from Apollo, the space shuttle, and the space station are preparing NASA for long-duration missions to the Moon and beyond.
Also, hardware that the space station had developed that we could then use and apply to Orion.
