SpaceCraft Oxygen Recovery Project

NASA SpaceCraft Oxygen Recovery (SCOR) project develops advanced technologies to recover oxygen from metabolic carbon dioxide beyond the state-of-the-art Sabatier process. The project targets substantially higher oxygen recovery to reduce consumable mass and improve life-support closure for Gateway, lunar, Mars transit, and planetary-surface habitats.
