How is oxygen created on a space station?
Oxygen on a space station is primarily produced through electrolysis, a process that uses electricity to split water molecules (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2). This allows astronauts to breathe in the oxygen generated onboard the space station. Additionally, oxygen can also be supplied to the space station through resupply missions from Earth.
How and what do the astronauts breathe on the space station?
Astronauts on the space station breathe a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, similar to the air we breathe on Earth. The station has systems that generate and maintain this breathable atmosphere, including equipment to produce oxygen from water and remove carbon dioxide exhaled by the astronauts.
Does the space station have to fill up with air or oxygen?
It is filled with air, as prolonged exposure to pure oxygen is harmful to humans.
How does the space station not run out of air?
The International Space Station generates oxygen through electrolysis, which splits water into oxygen and hydrogen. Carbon dioxide is removed from the air by a system called the Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly, which uses a chemical sorbent to trap carbon dioxide. These systems work together to maintain the air supply on the space station.
How do they get air in a space station?
Air in a space station is maintained through a combination of systems that generate and recycle oxygen, remove carbon dioxide, and manage overall air quality. Oxygen is produced using methods such as electrolysis of water, where electricity splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is filtered out using chemical scrubbers. Additionally, the station is periodically resupplied with air and other necessities from supply missions.
What is the atmosphere of a space station?
The atmosphere of the space station is the same as on Earth, 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen.

How would fans affect a fire on the International Space Station?
If there is oxygen on the space station, a fire could burn. Fans do not produce oxygen, but they could help spread the fire.

In an emergency what can be used to supply oxygen on the ISS?
Oxygen candles can be used to supply oxygen in an emergency on the International Space Station.
Why is oxygen taken on every trip into space?
Oxygen is only necessary on manned flights for breathing. Unmanned flights do not carry oxygen except to replinish the International Space Station.
Why is fire a problem on a space station?
the fire would suck out all the oxygen and kill the people on board. The fire could also make the space station explode.

What are three aspects of spacethat are different from earth and require astronauts to use special equipment when outside the space shuttle or space station?

How does the International Space Station make oxygen?
I found this article at Space.com (see link in related links) I hope is helps. "Built by Russian engineers, the Elektron device aboard the space station uses electrolysis to separate water into hydrogen, which is dumped overboard, and oxygen. The 1,500-pound (680-kilogram) OGS rack works in much the same way, and will be able to provide 12 pounds of breathable oxygen daily under normal operations, NASA officials said."
Is the Salut 1 the first space station?
No, the Salut 1 was not the first space station. The first space station was the Soviet space station Salyut 1, which was launched in 1971.
