Flight Opportunities
Sub-System Coupling for Grey Water Purification (VPCAR) (VPCAR)
Project Introduction
The novel integration of a life support system with an attitude control system for unprecedented mission performance. Comprehensive redundant grey water purification and IV fluids generation (when required) systems that dramatically lower mass and reduced power requirements than current flight systems using Passive Energy Acquisition. The resulting multidisciplinary system has the potential of better packaging options due to reduced overall volume. It is anticipated that this system would be employed on all four CMGs adding redundancy to potable water reclamation from grey water.
