Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #32152: SEOPS-MiniCarb: Advancing Carbon Dioxide Sensing in Space

SEOPS-MiniCarb is a pioneering space experiment that focuses on carbon dioxide (CO2) sensing technologies in space. Led by Dr. Emily Wilson from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, this project was developed by SEOPS, LLC, based in Bastrop, TX, and was part of NASA's Expeditions 61/62. The SEOPS-MiniCarb experiment aims to demonstrate advanced CO2 sensing technologies that can be used in future space missions to monitor and manage carbon dioxide levels in spacecraft. This is a critical capability for long-duration space missions, where the buildup of CO2 can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of astronauts. By testing new CO2 sensing systems in the unique environment of space, SEOPS-MiniCarb seeks to improve the monitoring and control of this essential environmental factor.

The success of SEOPS-MiniCarb could lead to enhanced technologies that not only benefit space exploration but also have applications on Earth, such as improving air quality in confined environments like submarines, mines, and spacecraft. Additionally, advancements in CO2 sensing technology are essential for ensuring the sustainability of long-term space missions, such as those to Mars and beyond.
