Description
NASA has plans for long-duration manned space missions, including a return to the moon, manned flight to Mars, and eventual colonization of the solar system from the moon, to Mars, the asteroids, and perhaps the Jovian moons. For such long-term voyages in space, a life support system will be needed to provide food, replenish supplies of water and oxygen, and remove carbon dioxide. Accordingly, NASA started the controlled ecological life support system, or CELSS, program in 1978 to develop the technology necessary to support life in space, and sponsors CELSS projects at various centers and other locations. Since 1987, Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has been operating a CELSS Breadboard Facility, to which McDonnell Douglas contributes under the Payload Ground Operations Contract (PGOC).
