[edit] Summary
The purpose of this design task is to decide upon a cabin atmosphere for the CLLARE Command Module.
[edit] Background
[edit] Features/Considerations
- Fire safety
- EVA preparations
[edit] Requirements
- Should not be too hard to find minimum partial pressure from oxygen to ensure easy breathing.
[edit] Available Solutions
[edit] Low pressure pure oxygen
Used on Apollo (0.5 atm?)
[edit] 1 atm Heliox
Used on Soyuz. Heliox is used on ISS, unsure of pressure.
[edit] Supporting material/calculations
Should not be hard to find figures for:
- Mercury
- Gemini
- Vostok
