Introduction of the Society of Eco-Engineering

Abstract

On the occasion of launching the Science Union of Human Planetary Habitation on Space, this document is intended to introduce related activities and possible contributions of the Society of Eco-Engineering. Having started its activity as a small research group on the Closed Ecological Life Support System(CELSS), the life support in space has been one of the main research topics in the society. Recently the society published “Handbook on CELSS and Eco-Engineering” to comemorate its 30th aniversary, which covers the space life support related issues as well as other important Eco-Engineering ones. In addition, it is going to organize several in-house groups on specific topics such as Life Support Technology in Space, Aquaponics, Biomass Utilization, etc. and some of which are expected to work as a counter part for close communication and collaboration with the union.
