General Description
LiSTOT was created at the Institute of Astronautics as a trade off tool for environmental controll and life support systems (ECLSS). It combines the commonly used equivalent system mass (ESM) metric as described in "Advanced Life Support Equivalent System Mass Guidelines Document" with a multi criteria based approach (MCA) as described in "Multi-criteria Decision Making Methods". This enables LiSTOT to consider the usual ESM metrics (Mass, Volume, Power, Cooling, Crew Time) but also consider further relevant parameters like the Technology Readines Level (TRL), Maintenance and Reliability.
More information on LiSTOT and how it can be used can be found in the Wiki.
LiSTOT can be download from the LiSTOT Gitlab project.
