Figure 4-123: Metabolic needs and products of the crew<br />

The data presented in this figure suggest a mass of consumables of about 503kg. Taking into<br />

account that consumables need additional hardware for storage and use, as well as the need to<br />

treat and store the metabolic products, the use of an open loop system seems favourable. The<br />

data strongly suggests the use of open loop systems except a recovery system for condensate.<br />

Additional considerations<br />

4.5.8.2.1 Hygiene water<br />

There is no hygiene water allowance during this phase of the mission.<br />

4.5.8.2.2 Drinking water<br />

The drinking water allowance for the crew has been estimated to be 1.7 l/crew/d and was<br />

oriented on the drinking water allowance on-board a Soyuz TM(A) vehicle.<br />

4.5.8.2.3 Cabin atmosphere<br />

The cabin atmosphere has been selected as follows:<br />

Total Cabin Pressure: 50.0 kPa<br />

Partial Pressure Oxygen: 25.0 kPa<br />

Partial Pressure Nitrogen: 25.0 kPa<br />

Partial Pressure Carbon Dioxide: TBD<br />

Preferably, the atmosphere would be free of any contaminants. However, as a minimum<br />

requirement, the spacecraft atmosphere shall adhere to the requirements given in <strong>ESA</strong> PSS-03-<br />

401. Based on the experiences with long term pressurised spacecrafts there shall be more<br />

stringent limits on microbial contamination. Following limit has been proposed during this study:<br />

Total microflora count: 200CFU/m3 (CFU - colony forming units)<br />

4.5.8.2.4 EVA considerations<br />

No EVAs are to be performed during this mission phase.<br />
