Elektron (ISS) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (406 words) |
 | Elektron is a Russian oxygen generator used on board the International Space Station (ISS). |
| The three Elektron oxygen generators on board the International Space Station have been plagued with problems, sometimes forcing the crew to use backup sources of bottled oxygen and Solid Fuel Oxygen Generation (SFOG) canisters. |
| The Elektron generators were the only source of renewable oxygen on board the station until NASA delivered a similar American-built system with Discovery flight STS-121. |
