- Abstract
- Development of the Space Shuttle Orbiter environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) included the identification and resolute of several interesting problems in several systems. Some of these problems occurred late in the program, including the flight phase. Problems and solutions related to the ammonia boiler system (ABS), smoke detector, water/hydrogen separator, and waste collector system are addressed.
