An Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) for spacecraft satisfies the physiological needs of the crew by revitalizing the atmosphere, maintaining temperature and humidity, providing food and water, and removing wastes. As we travel further beyond low Earth orbit, the increased cost of resupply and resource constraints (e.g., volume, power, and crew time) will necessitate life support systems with higher efficiency, autonomy, and mass closure than the physicochemical (PC) systems in use today1, 2.
