Public award description
IGF::OT::IGF THE PROPOSED INNOVATION IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CATHODE FEED ELECTROLYSIS CELL STACK CAPABLE OF GENERATING 3600 PSI OXYGEN AT A RELEVANT SCALE FOR FUTURE EXPLORATION MISSIONS. THIS INNOVATION IS RELEVANT TO NASA'S NEED FOR COMPACT, QUIET, EFFICIENT, AND LONG-LIVED SOURCES OF PRESSURIZED OXYGEN FOR ATMOSPHERE REVITALIZATION (AR) AND EVA OXYGEN STORAGE RECHARGE. PRESENT AR EQUIPMENT ABOARD INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) CONSISTS OF POWER-INTENSIVE, NOISY COMPRESSORS THAT HAVE SERVICE LIVES LESS THAN 2 YEARS. PROTON'S PROPOSED ELECTROLYZER STACK WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THESE COMPRESSORS, BY DEVELOPING A CELL STACK THAT CAN PRODUCE 3600 PSIA OXYGEN VIA ELECTROCHEMICAL COMPRESSION. THIS INNOVATION RESULTS IN A QUIET, EFFICIENT, SOLID STATE DEVICE WITH NO INTERNAL MOVING PARTS TO SERVICE OR FAIL.
