Many agricultural and other experiments relating to the development of a Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) were proposed by scientists throughout Japan in the fall of 1982. To develop concrete experimental concepts from these proposals, the engineering feasibility of each proposal was investigated by a CELSS experiment concept study group under the support of the National Aerospace Laboratory. The conclusions of the group were described in two documents. However, the studies did not clearly define necessary mission phases leading to the goal of an operational CELSS for spaceflight. For this reason, the CELSS experiment concept study group met again to clarify the goals of CELSS and to determine phased missions to achieve the goals. The resulting phased missions, preliminary proposals and studies needed to develop a CELSS are described herein.
