Feasibility studies suggest that utility of certain storable rocket propellants can be extended to include life support and other services in space; two liquid combinations are considered -- hydrazine/hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine/nitrogen tetroxide; both are good propellants, and their oxidizer-rich combustion in gas generator theoretically yields potable water, two-gas atmosphere of controllable composition, and energy for power generation and/or thermal management; basic thermochemical relationships are presented from which performance in specific areas is derived; problems of contamination, safety, and reliability.
