Abstract

This paper will discuss opportunities for advancing the Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) requirements and technologies needed for space exploration beyond low earth orbit, including some lessons learned, items already planned for use on the International Space Station (ISS), along with what should be/might be added. Also discussed will be possible crew training deltas (e.g. time delays) to demonstrate and experience anticipated operational differences (e.g. deep i-level repairs, crew managed local ppO2, ppCO2 and water management).
