Abstract
The Spacelab/Orbiter atmosphere revitalization subsystem cabin and avionics air loops are described, as well as performance during STS flights. The avionics loop includes fans, heat exchangers, smoke sensors, a rack cooling assembly, and fire suppression system. Orbiter and Spacelab requirements are noted.
