Summary:

The Closed Ecology Experimental Facilities (CEEF), is designed to simulate material circulation, and is an artificial closed agricultural ecosystem with plants, humans and animals. The first seven-day air circulated confinement experiments using the CEEF were conducted three times. The experiments included psychological monitoring of two crew members named "Eco-nauts". Even though there was some trouble with the CEEF regarding the atmospheric gases (which one of the Eco-nauts discovered himself), all three experiments were completed without critical problems and both Eco-nauts maintained a stable psychological status. Through the experiments, it was found that the interior environment of the CEEF could fluctuate within short time periods, and that frequent monitoring by the instantaneous and sensitive Face Scale Test allowed scoring of the Eco-nauts' response to such fluctuations
