Atmospheric Revitalization

Atmospheric revitalization involves renewing and maintaining the air quality within a spacecraft or sealed environment. It includes removing carbon dioxide exhaled by occupants, managing humidity, and replenishing oxygen to ensure a safe, breathable atmosphere. This process often employs systems like scrubbers, filters, and chemical processes to continuously clean and restore the internal environment. Effective atmospheric revitalization is essential for crew health and safety during long-duration missions, ensuring the air remains clean, balanced, and sustainable over time.
