Abstract
An environmental control system for a space vehicle includes an oxygen supply, a nitrogen supply, a first pressure control panel having a first oxygen control board configured to receive an oxygen gas from the oxygen supply and a first nitrogen control board configured to receive a nitrogen gas from the nitrogen supply, and a supervisory controller configured to control the first pressure control panel and thereby to adjust a partial pressure of oxygen and an ambient pressure of an oxygen/nitrogen gas mixture within a first module.
