Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) System Engineering Workshop

Laurie Peterson
NASA JSC

This slide presentation begins with a recap on a previous lecture on the ECLSS subsystems, and the various types (i.e., Non-regenerative vs Regenerative, open loop vs closed loop, and physical-chemical vs bioregenerative)

It also recaps the Equivalent system mass (ESM) metric.

The presentation continues with a review of the ECLSS of the various NASA manned space exploration programs from Mercury, to the current planned Altair lunar landing, and Lunar base operations. There is also a team project to establish the ESM of two conceptualized missions.
