Mass analysis for the Space Station ECLSS using the balance spreadsheet methodThe balance spreadsheet method is applied to mass analysis of the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS). The spreadsheet layout reduces the complexity of the ECLSS analysis by concisely defining the sources, sinks, and net changes in mass for each fluid. The analysis method is illustrated by using information from the latest Space Station ECLSS Architectural Control Documents and a given Space Station assembly sequence. The analysis results are plotted and discussed.
