dc.descriptionThe 47th International Conference on Environmental Systems was held in South Carolina, USA on 16 July 2017 through 20 July 2017.
dc.description.abstractNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s life support community has made significant progress in the last year advancing key technologies and capabilities to enable future exploration missions. Technology gap identification and prioritization has remained fairly consistent. The development teams have completed key development milestones to prove or disprove the feasibility of new technology. Decisions were made to narrow technology options and even make the first selections for technologies that will be demonstrated at full scale on the International Space Station (ISS). Detailed planning for integrated system demonstrations on ISS has begun. Also, other activities began to investigate the ECLS system design and integration considerations for development of capabilities for the cislunar proving ground. This paper provides an overview of the refined Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) strategic planning, and overall roadmap updates, as well as a synopsis of key technology and maturation project tasks that occurred in 2016 and early 2017 to support the strategic needs. Plans for the remainder of 2017 and subsequent years are also described.
