Table 4 Absolute increase in energy expended, oxygen (O2) consumed, carbon dioxide (CO2) and heat produced (Hprod), and water required for hydration, during 30-d and 1,080-d missions resulting from the increase in body size alone between a ‘small-sized’ (1.50-m) and ‘large-sized’ (1.90-m) male crew, and the use of countermeasure (CM) exercise.
From: Body size and its implications upon resource utilization during human space exploration missions
Increased (1.50- to 1.90-m) body size (without CM exercise) | Use of CM exercise | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
30-d | 1,080-d | 30-d (1.50–1.90-m) | 1,080-d (1.50–1.90-m) | |
Energy (MJ) | + 475 | + 17,083 | + 306–491 | + 11,019–17,680 |
O2 (L × 103) | + 28.8 | + 1,036 | + 14.8–23.8 | + 533–856 |
CO2 (L × 103) | + 22.7 | + 816 | + 13.3–21.3 | + 479–768 |
Hprod (MJ) | + 412.0 | + 14,832 | + 288.1–462.2 | + 10,371–16,640 |
Water (L) | + 60.5 | + 2,180 | + 72.7–123.1 | + 2,619–4,432 |
