Rendering of the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Demonstration of CO? Removal System (JEM DRCS) being installed inside the space station. JEM DRCS draws in cabin air, removes carbon dioxide, and returns purified air back to the crew. JEM DRCS will test how well this new carbon dioxide removal technology works in orbit to inform designs for future Moon and Mars missions. Image courtesy of JAXA.
