New page

'''Decompression''' refers to the removal of gas or other substance from a [[module]] that causes its ambient pressure to decrease. Unless initiated by [[Mission Control]] or by the [[Habitat]] [[EECOM]], decompression is a [[disaster]] and should be treated as an emergency. However, decompression is necessary to allow [[EVA]] or [[IVA]] without wasting any of the Habitat's atmosphere.

The opposite of decompression is [[pressurization]]

==Monitoring==
The pressure of each module is monitored in kilo-Pascals on [[EECOM]].

===Safety===
A Standard Atmosphere, denoted as a green module on EECOM is
N2=78
02=20
