What Does CELSS Stand For?

CELSS stands for Controlled Ecological Life Support System

CELSS, or Controlled Ecological Life Support System, refers to a sustainable and regenerative system designed to support human life in closed environments, such as space missions or remote habitats. It integrates biological, chemical, and physical processes to recycle air, water, and nutrients, enabling long-term habitation by maintaining essential ecological functions. CELSS aims to create a self-sustaining environment that minimizes dependence on external resources while ensuring the health and wellbeing of its inhabitants.
