European efforts in Controlled Ecological Life Support Systems (CELSS) began in the 1970s. While a unified program is not yet established, CELSS objectives are key goals for future European manned space activities and life sciences research.

Area of Science:

  • Space exploration
  • Life support systems
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • European activities in Controlled Ecological Life Support Systems (CELSS) initiated in the late 1970s.
  • Early efforts focused on system analysis and feasibility studies for Biological Life Support Systems (BLSS).
  • Initiatives originated from both industry and customer/agency perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the historical development and current status of European CELSS activities.
  • To define the long-term needs and payload definitions for life support systems, particularly for COLUMBUS utilization.
  • To establish CELSS objectives as planning and development goals for European manned space missions.

Main Methods:

  • System analysis and feasibility studies.

  • Individual development tasks for specific life support components (e.g., Environmental Life Support System, Solar Plant Growth Facility).
  • Coordination and planning activities for long-term life support needs and payload definition.

    • Main Results:

    • European CELSS efforts have progressed through individual development tasks and coordinated planning.
    • General CELSS objectives have been accepted as planning and development goals.
    • CELSS is recognized as a critical area for future life sciences research in manned space activities.

    Conclusions:

    • A "concerted" European CELSS program has not yet been formally agreed upon.
    • CELSS objectives are integral to the planning of European manned space activities.
    • CELSS research will be a significant focus for the life sciences community in the coming decades.
