NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for a Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA) research grade two-stage pump and associated motor, controller and cables. The pump will be integrated with a CDRA subsystem currently installed in the MSFC Enviromental Life Support System Test Facility. The pump will be utilized in testing in support of International Space Station on-orbit operations.
