EECOM

EECOM, or Electrical, Environmental, and Consumables Officer, was a key mission specialist on Apollo space missions. Responsible for monitoring and managing spacecraft electrical systems, life support environments (such as airflow, temperature, and humidity), and consumables like water and oxygen. EECOM ensured systems operated correctly, responded to anomalies, and coordinated repairs when needed, maintaining crew safety and mission integrity. Think of EECOM as the troubleshooting and environmental quality expert, ensuring the spacecraft's systems function smoothly so astronauts can focus on their mission objectives.
