As a result of the preliminary study for the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) of the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM), the functions of the JEM ECLSS are defined as follows: atmosphere control and supply, temperature and humidity control (including intramodule and intermodule air ventilation), atmosphere revitalization (CO2 removal, contamination control and monitoring), fire detection and suppression, water management, and rescue provision, while the supply and recovery/processing of gas and water depend on the Space Station (SS) core ECLSS. Also, advanced technology developments for cabin air flow distribution system, regenerative CO2 removal system, gas/water separating system, etc. were performed.
