How Do Astronauts Get Breathable Oxygen In Space (Aboard The ISS)?

The video explores how astronauts access breathable oxygen in space, focusing on the International Space Station (ISS). It explains the use of oxygen generators, electrolysis, and chemical reactions to produce oxygen. The video also highlights the importance of maintaining air quality and safety aboard the ISS through various technologies and backup systems.

Why is it crucial for space missions to have a reliable source of oxygen?

• To ensure the spacecraft can travel faster

• To maintain communication with Earth

• To power the spacecraft's engines

• To support the survival of astronauts

What is the primary method used by the ISS to generate oxygen?

• Condensing atmospheric gases

• Using solar panels directly

• Burning hydrogen

• Electrolysis of water

How does the ISS obtain water for oxygen generation?

• It is collected from space dust

• It is extracted from the Martian surface

• It is delivered by supply ships from Earth

• It is mined from asteroids

What is the role of perchlorate candles on the ISS?

• To power the communication systems

• To provide emergency lighting

• To heat the spacecraft

• To generate oxygen through a chemical reaction

Which system is used to remove carbon dioxide from the air on the ISS?

• Perchlorate candles

• Zeolite molecular sieve

• Electrolysis

• Solar panels
