• The ECLS System is composed of the essential hardware to allow humans to safely inhabit space. ECLSS circulates air around the vehicle picking up carbon dioxide, humidity and trace contaminants to be scrubbed and provides oxygen for breathing.  The internal cabin pressure is maintained and monitored. Clean drinking water is provided to the crew.  The ECLS system also monitors air quality as well as emergencies such as rapid depressurization and fire and counteracts them.

• Crew Systems is composed of various components and technologies necessary to support and ensure the physical and mental wellbeing of the crew throughout the duration of the mission. This includes waste management, potable water distribution, habitability and operations, crew mobility and restraints, hygiene and food supplies, and medical and health.
