Trash-to-Gas technologies show promise in addressing the need for a proper waste management system onboard a long-duration space mission. However, there is a clear need to better understand how the initial waste preparation can affect the overall conversion efficiency. Factors such as the waste size, moisture content, and packing density can have significant impacts on the reactor performance. This paper will focus on the effects of various pre-processing steps on the overall solid-to-gas conversion on the state of the art Trash-to-Gas system developed at NASA Kennedy Space Center. These results will help inform future Trash-to-Gas technologies on what types of supporting subsystems will be necessary to operate effectively for exploration missions.
