This paper contains a review of the requirements and design of the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) for Space Station Freedom; a review of the G189A ECLSS computer program model developed at Boeing for the complete configuration of pressurized elements or volumes; and some significant computed results from this model showing transient performance for subsystems responsible for Temperature and Humidity Control,. Atmosphere Control and Supply, Air Revitalization, and Water Recovery and Management. The computed results presented here are important in assessing the capabilities of the ECLSS equipment in maintaining acceptable levels of temperature, humidity, 02, N2 and (2% in the occupied volumes during crew changeout events. These events involve up to four extra crew members from the Orbiter being located temporarily in the Space Station modules in addition to the normal contingent of four crew members. These additional crew members impose additional demands on the ECLSS equipment, in order to control the levels of the aforementioned quantities. Satisfactory control of all of these quantities was achieved. The maximum computed pp C02 was in the acceptable degraded performance regime. This level is higher than the 3.00 mm Hg upper limit for normal conditions
