Preliminary Design of the Space Station Environmental Control and Life Support System

J. L. Reuter, Larry D. Turner, W. R. Humphries

Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

This paper outlines the current status of the Space Station Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS). The seven subsystem groups which comprise the ECLSS are identified and their functional descriptions are provided. The impact that the nominal and safe haven operating requirements have on the physical distribution, sizing, and number of ECLSS subsystems is described. The role that the major ECLSS interfaces with other Space Station systems and elements play in the ECLSS design is described.
