Humidity Reclamation in Space SuitsHumidity Reclamation in Space Suits
Objective
Paragon’s student led team will design an
integrated solution that will relieve the breathing
discomfort for the user and minimize the water build
up in the suit using Paragon Nafion Bundle
technology.
Using a Nafion Bundle product and Paragon’s
Simulated Breathing Test bed, the students will be
able to design, build and test a complete prototype system.

A problem with portable life support systems for
space applications is over drying of the inhalation
stream due to upstream carbon dioxide removal
processes causing discomfort for the user. Another
problem is the buildup of water in the spacesuit
causing a host of issues. However, water is a
valuable resource that needs to be reclaimed.

Challenges
• Nafion Amine contamination/poisoning
• Water condensation in the suit (conserve water but don’t end up with a soggy suit)
• Mechanical interfaces
• Accommodate system integration
• System modeling for a closed system with consideration of water accumulation
