Spacecraft are equipped with Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS), which regulate atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, and provide oxygen. These systems use technologies like water electrolysis to generate oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the cabin air. Backup systems, such as emergency oxygen tanks, are also available to ensure a continuous supply of breathable air. Source link
