[Systems and methods for the removal of harmful trace contaminants from atmosphere of space vehicles].
Main classes of harmful trace contaminants (HTC) detected in atmosphere of space vehicles, prime HTC sources, and calculated rates of HTC off-gassing by nonmetallic materials and subassemblies are reviewed. Analyzed are the capabilities, and merits and disadvantages of the adsorption-catalytic HTC removing systems. An original HTC removing system utilizing the plasmocatalytic technique is considered. In addition to the HTC screens, a part of water soluble compounds are also captured by atmospheric condensate regenerated in heat-exchange systems. Efficiency of this technique is discussed.
