dc.description.abstractThe role of the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) is to create a sustainable environment for humans by utilizing plants and physicochemical systems. For future human space missions, more research and practical experiments are desired. Our team has been developing an ECLSS simulator, called SImulator for Closed Life and Ecology (SICLE), for use as a tool in satisfying a wide range of research in ecology and resource recycling. The most significant feature of this simulator is that it can construct environment models by simple operations, applied to both closed and open systems. We ran three simulations on two situations to investigate the behavior of the simulator and to obtain numerical data. The first two models were derived from our Mars exploration operations research at Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the Utah desert. The MDRS model refers to water consumption in a two-week habitation by 6 crew members of Crew 137, Team NIPPON, in a habitat module of MDRS with open air and water systems. SICLE simulation results for the MDRS model show that water flow corresponds to actual measurement values, as well as indicating complete substance exchanges among factors such as air, water and human activities for a hypothetical closed-system model of MDRS. The other model was Inspiration Mars Mission, a partially closed ECLSS with 2 crew members for 501 days, designed by Team Kanau, winner of International Inspiration Mars Student Design Competition. The designed ECLSS model consisted of recycling systems and supplemental storage which compensated for recycling loss as the mission progressed. In the simulation, the tank size was effectively defined by reading possible maximum substance amounts in each tank, and failure event behavior was investigated. We believe that improving SICLE, as it can be applied to a variety of resource recycling and circulation models, contributes to accelerate research in this field.en_US
