2 unusual facts about ISS ECLSS


ISS ECLSS

NASA delivered a similar American-built system with Discovery flight STS-121, to supplement the Russian Elektron oxygen system and eventually support a crew of six.

The incident occurred shortly after STS-115 left and just before arrival of a resupply mission (including space tourist Anousheh Ansari).


Progress M1-11

Its cargo included an Orlan spacesuit, a replacement flex hose for the Destiny module, a new Elektron oxygen generator with spare parts for the Elektrons already aboard the ISS, some oxygen generator candles, spare batteries, new fire detection and suppression systems, a gas analysis system, cameras, data cassettes, and an external experiment package for the Zvezda module, Matreshka.
