The spacecraft environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS) for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Spacelab, the Space Shuttle Orbiter, and Space Station Freedom are reviewed, in addition to the ECLSS on Soviet spacecraft Vostok, Voskhod, Soyuz, Salyut Space Stations, the Buran Space Shuttle, and the Mir Space Station. Focus is placed on atmosphere control and supply, atmosphere revitalization, potable and supply water systems, waste-management systems, temperature and humidity control, water recovery and management, and fire detection and suppression. It is noted that the ECLSS evolution will continue during the lifetime of Space Station Freedom, leading to further simplifications and closure of the system which will become a controlled ecological life support system (CELSS).
