The Windows Controlled Ecological Life Support System (WinCELSS) Simulator
was developed to investigate computer simulations of integrated operations
involving humans, plants and processing machinery in a closed or semi-closed
environment. A WinCELSS-like system that can regenerate air, water and food
from process waste is important for future long-duration space missions,
including settlements on lunar and planetary surfaces.
WinCELSS models an environment consisting of two modules: a crew compartment
module and a plant growth module. Up to 100 humans and 180 "fields" each of
lettuce, potatoes, soybeans, and wheat are modeled. Flows of carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are tracked while the simulation executes.
In
addition to the initial conditions, twenty-six different types of events
such as crew rotation, crop/field planting, resupply, and catastrophes (crop
failures, food contamination, major resource losses, equipment failures) can
be scheduled to occur throughout the simulated time period.
WinCELSS carries the NASA case number MSC-22710. It was originally released as part of the NASA COSMIC collection.
