The Bosch process, which catalytically reduces CO2 with H2 to solid carbon and water, is a promising technique for the reduction of the CO2 removed from the Space Station atmosphere and the subsequent water formation for O2 recovery. A Bosch engineering subsystem prototype CO2 reduction unit was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of the Bosch process as a viable technology for Space Station application. A man-rated prototype unit is then described as part of the ECLSS Technology Demonstrator Program. The goal was to develop a Bosch subsystem that not only meets the performance requirements of two 60 person-day carbon cartridge capacities, but also satisfies inherent man-rated requirements such as offgassing characteristics, fail-safe operation, and ease of maintainability. It is concluded that the technology is at a state of maturity directly applicable to flight status for the NASA Space Station program.
