Conference on human spaceflight technology and space human factors
The
International Conference on Environmental Systems
, or
ICES
(known prior to 1990 as the
Intersociety Conference on Environmental Systems
), is an annual technical conference focusing on
human spaceflight
technology and space
human factors
. Session topics include:
Environmental Control and Life Support Systems
(ECLSS),
thermal control
,
life sciences
,
extra-vehicular activity
(EVA) systems (including
space suit
design and
human-robot interaction
),
space architecture
, and mission planning for
exploration
.
The conference has taken place annually since 1971.
History
[
edit
]
The first ICES conference was held in San Francisco in 1971, after three years of work by members of Environmental Control and Life Support System specialist committees representing four different societies: the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME), the
Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAE), the
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
(AIAA), and the
Aerospace Medical Association
(AsMA). It replaced three other meetings held each year as part of various society conference programs and since then it has been held every year. In 1972, the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers
(AIChE) became the fifth and final co-sponsoring society for ICES.
[1]
Prior to 1990, ICES organization was US-only. In 1990 it became international, by merging the American conference with a similar conference held in
Europe
, and ICES started to be held abroad (for the first time in Germany in 1994). Since 2000, the ICES conference takes place four times out of five in the US and once in five years outside US (so far in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2016).
For its first 39 years, the main ICES organizer was the
Society of Automotive Engineers
; from 2010 through 2013, the
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
filled the role of main organizer, supported by American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers and ICES International Committee. Starting in 2014, the conference became an independent entity that was organized by
Texas Tech University
.
[2]
in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, the conference became independent with its own website at
http://www.ices.space
whilst AIAA, AIChE, ASME, and the ICES International Committee continue organizing the conference sessions.
Papers presented at ICES are published every year in the conference proceedings, from 1971 to 2009 by SAE, then from 2010 to 2013 by AIAA. These papers are available and searchable online at the SAE and AIAA websites. They are now published by the ICES organization. Proceedings from the 2014-2019 conferences, hosted by
Texas Tech University
, are accessible from the ICES conference website.
