[224] HUMAN-CENTRIC APPROACH FOR DESIGN OF EXPLORATION MISSTION HABITATS

摘要

MOTIVATION: As NASA plans to send human explorers beyond low Earth orbit (LEO), crews will spend an unprecedented extended period of time in a small, confined vehicle. Due to its impact on primary vehicle structure and thus cost and mass, one of the first key questions asked during conceptual space mission architecture studies is - what is the "habitable volume" required for the astronauts to live and work? Given the unique stressors of a distant planetary mission, it will be essential to ensure that vehicle design adheres to the minimum acceptable volume constraints; at stake is the health, safety, and performance of crews living and working in those vehicles.
