Ceramic Oxygen Generator (COG) Prototype Development
Crew and Thermal Systems Division - Mail Code EC
August 18, 2025
1.0 Project Background
This statement of work (SOW) defines the scope of activities necessary to design, build, and test an oxygen generator system that used ceramic ion transport membrane technology. The preceding contract was established to develop the technology necessary to demonstrate the ability to recharge space suit oxygen tanks on the International Space Station - as a technology demonstration activity. The preceding contract was a technology development contract where there were no requirements for flight hardware safety, configuration management, materials controls, process controls, quality assurance, or reliability. The objective was to design, build, and test an oxygen generation system developed as a technology demonstrator. When the oxygen generator prototype was built, tested, and shown to work, a new contract would be established, with appropriate requirements for a flight system.
The preceding contract produced oxygen generation requirements related to oxygen purity (99.99%), delivery pressure (100 psig), production rate ( 4 slpm per cell stack), and power consumption (2.0 Scope
NASA applications for an oxygen generator include: 1) space suit oxygen tank recharge, 2) in-flight recharge of high pressure contingency oxygen tanks, 3) purification and pressurization of oxygen collected as part of an In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) process. Each of these applications have unique requirements; so specific technical requirements (e.g. process temperature, delivery rate, system interfaces, product purity) will be specified in the SOW of the task order.
Technical work performed in service of this contract will be restricted to tasks related to developing technology demonstrator oxygen generator systems. These systems will use ceramic ion transport membranes as the ...
