An environmental control system for conditioning a cabin of a vehicle positioned in an enclosed air-evacuated environment includes a first inlet (24) for receiving a flow of a first medium (A1), a second inlet (26) for receiving a flow of a second medium (A2), and a thermodynamic device (30) fluidly coupled to both the first inlet (24) and the second inlet (26). The thermodynamic device (30) includes a compressor and at least one turbine operably coupled by a shaft. At least one conduit is fluidly coupled to the second inlet (26) and bypasses the thermodynamic device (30). A mixing point is fluidly coupled to an outlet of the at least one turbine to the at least one conduit. A recirculation heat exchanger (56) is fluidly coupled to an outlet of the thermodynamic device (30) and to the at least one conduit at a location upstream from the mixing point.
