How the International Space Station maintains a breathable atmosphere
In short: For over 25 years, the International Space Station has relied on complex systems to sustain life. This video explores the engineering behind creating oxygen in orbit and the innovations needed for much longer space expeditions.
The video investigates the mechanisms used to generate breathable air in space and the challenges of maintaining these life-support systems. While the ISS has revolutionized space missions for more than a quarter-century, the necessity for constant repairs and upgrades drives the development of even more dependable technology for future spacecraft.
