A regenerable CO2 and humidity control system is presently being developed for potential use on Shuttle as an alternate to the baseline Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) system. The system utilizes a sorbent material (designated 'HS-C') to adsorb CO2 and water vapor from the cabin atmosphere and desorb the CO2 and water vapor overboard when exposed to a space vacuum. Past development programs concentrated on material development and breadboard system fabrication and testing. The present program calls for the design of a flight prototype system capable of integration into the Shuttle vehicle and the development of major components. This paper will show that a regenerable system utilizing HS-C material trades even with the shuttle LiOH system for the baseline four-man, seven-day mission and offers increased savings up to 448 kg for a seven-man, 30-day mission.
