Atmosphere Supply System for Space Simulation

Life Support of space vehicle occupants under actual or simulated conditions has become an important part of the Aerospace Support field. Pioneer-Central Division of The Bendix Corporation has been actively engaged in this field and has developed a series of atmosphere supply systems for use by man in space simulation chambers. This paper describes a typical system, one that is a composite of existing operating systems, together with some of the problems encountered and design approaches used to overcome these problems.
