Environmental Control/Life Support

The goal of this catalog is to present detailed case studies from the career experiences of the Environmental Control/Life Support Technical Discipline Team. We will provide experiences and lessons learned involving life support systems to a new generation of NASA engineers and scientists, designated contractors, university professors, and graduate students in engineering programs. Courses in this discipline will cover many areas including; atmospheric revitalization, active thermal control, supply and wastewater, smoke detection and fire suppression, crew escape, galley/food,and waste management.
