Space Station Freedom Environmental Control and Life Support System Design - A Status Report

W. R. Humphries, J. L. Reuter, Richard G. Schunk

Abstract

Space Station Freedom (S.S. Freedom) has entered into the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) phase of the program. This paper outlines the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) design with emphasis on the systems aspects of the ECLSS. Interactions with other distributed systems, such as data management and electrical power are described. The integration of the ECLSS into the S.S. Freedom pressurized elements and truss are addressed.
