Long-term human missions in space, establishment of a human-tended lunar base and of a Martian base require autonomous life support system. A Lunar/Martian-Engineered Closed/Controlled EcoSystem (L/M-ECCES) can provide autonomy by integrating a human module with support plant and animal modules and waste treatment subsystems. Integration of physical/chemical and biological waste treatment subsystems can lead to a viable and operational bioregenerative system through minimizing resupply requirements from Earth. Life support requirements of the human module drive the design and operation of a L/M-ECCES. A top-level diagram for a L/M-ECCES was developed based on the human module requirements. The proposed top-level diagram is presented and its components are briefly discussed.
