ABSTRACT:
A system and method for dispensing a carbonated pre-mix beverage in the microgravity conditions of outer space. Dispensing occurs from a large supply container which is maintained at a substantially constant pressure by a CO.sub.2 source to keep the pre-mix carbonated. The CO.sub.2 source also operates to raise and lower a drinking container platform into an engaging relationship with a filler head, while also operating to actuate a plunger rod when filling the drinking container with a beverage. The beverage is cooled prior to being dispensed into the drinking container by passing through an insulated cooling medium.
