What Does ECLS Stand For?

ECLS stands for Environmental Control And Life Support

ECLS, or Environmental Control and Life Support, refers to the systems and technologies designed to maintain a livable environment for humans in space or other hostile settings. This includes the management of air quality, temperature, humidity, and pressure, as well as the control of waste and provision of breathable air. ECLS systems are critical for supporting life during extended missions, such as those in spacecraft, submarines, or remote habitats, ensuring safety and sustainability in challenging environments.
