This paper describes a method of evolving the life support technologies of an early lunar base into an advanced life support system. The initial design is a partially-closed regenerative life support system based upon Space Station Freedom physicochemical technology. The paper describes the stepwise evolution of this baseline system into a closed-loop, lunar base Controlled Ecological Life Support System, a hybrid design which incorporates both advanced physicochemical and bioregenerative technologies.
