Bob Bagdigian and Robyn Carrasquillo -- project manager and engineering manager, respectively, for the Environmental Control and Life Support System -- look over the Oxygen Generation System developed and built at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Part of the International Space Station’s Environmental Control and Life Support System, the Oxygen Generation System was shipped Jan. 24, 2006, from the Marshall Center to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Kennedy is the system’s last stop before its planned 2006 launch. The system is slated to fly on Space Shuttle Discovery as part of STS-121, NASA’s second Return to Flight test mission. The Oxygen Generation System was designed and tested jointly by the Marshall Center and Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International of Windsor Locks, Conn. (NASA/MSFC/David Higginbotham)


The International Space Station’s Oxygen Generation System is moved into the Space Station Processing Facility. + Large (3032 x 2064, 300 ppi)
+ Medium (720 x 1083, 72 ppi)
+ Small (100 x 75, 72 ppi)

At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Fla., the International Space Station’s Oxygen Generation System is moved into the Space Station Processing Facility after being removed from its shipping container. Once installed on the station, the system will help produce breathable air for the crew. It also will help replace oxygen lost due to experiment use, airlock depressurization, module leakage and carbon dioxide venting. The system is slated to fly on Space Shuttle Discovery as part of STS-121, NASA’s second Return to Flight test mission. The Oxygen Generation System was designed and tested jointly by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International of Windsor Locks, Conn.
