- Abstract
The Man-made Ecological Systems for interplanetary flights will be the based on physical/chemical technologies of crew metabolism product transformation in initial components of an environment. Development of the Carbon Dioxide Concentration System as a part of Integrated Life Support System is essential condition of maintenance providing life and activity of crew in independent long-term interplanetary flights. PURPOSE of this paper is to examine the various technologies of carbon dioxide concentration considering conditions of the interplanetary autonomous manned spaceflights and/or the planetary orbital station. APPROACH based on comparative analysis the various technologies of carbon dioxide concentration. The key technologies of the Carbon Dioxide Concentration System are: \begin{itemize}\item adsorptive, based on physical sorption and chemisorption; \end{itemize} \begin{itemize}\item absorptive, based on electro/chemical and thermal desorption; \end{itemize} \begin{itemize}\item electro/chemical processes, based on cell polarization of fuel element or electrodialysis;\end{itemize} \begin{itemize}\item semi-permeable membranes.\end{itemize} The information review about various technologies of carbon dioxide concentration is examined. CONCLUSIONS: \begin{itemize}\item Various technologies of carbon dioxide concentration are analyzed.\end{itemize} \begin{itemize}\item The key technologies for development of the system of concentration Carbon dioxide for the crew’s life and activity maintenance in interplanetary flights and/or the planetary orbital station is defined.\end{itemize}- Abstract document
