Abstract:

A solid electrolyte carbon dioxide reduction system for use in a weightless condition on a planned suborbital missile flight was designed, fabricated, and tested. The system, which converted carbon dioxide to oxygen and carbon monoxide at a rate of 0.01 pounds per hour of carbon dioxide, weighed 39 pounds including all instrumentation and structural supports, occupied a volume of one cubic foot and consumed about 275 watts under steady state operating conditons. The system successfully passed specified acceleration and vibration tests and was delivered to the sponsoring agency for further use. Author
