CELSS Research Reports Vol 1 Nos. 1-11

1982rif. 717Ames Research Center 1982. Hardcover. Fine. Red cloth binding with gilt titles to the spine. Quarto 11 x 9" The Controlled Ecological Life Support System CELSS program ran for about 25 years between the late 1970s and early 2000s with related work continuing today. The goal of CELSS was to create an enclosed biological system that could sustain astronauts indefinitely. It relied especially on plants which recycle waste into food and oxygen. Kennedy Space Center spent decades developing indoor farming techniques for crops and even fish to support a closed-loop life-support system for space travel. Eleven bound research reports from NASA contractors include: Emmett J. Johnson: Genetic engineering Possibilities for CELSS: A Bibliography and Summary of Techniques. March 1982 G. M. Hornberger and E. B. Rastetter: Sensitivity Analysis as an Aid in Modeling and Control of Poorly Defined Ecological Systems 1982 T. W. Tibbitts and D. K.

Constructed between 1987 and 1991 Biosphere 2 was an experiment on the viability of closed ecological systems to support and maintain human life in outer space as a substitute for Earth's biosphere. The largest ever created it was a two-year closure 1991- 1993 with a crew of eight people and was only used once more in 1994 for its original intended purposes. Both attempts ran into problems including low amounts of food and oxygen die-offs of many animals and plants and group dynamic tensions. . Ames Research Center hardcover
