MINIMUM CREW SPACE HABITABILITY FOR THE LUNAR MISSION

摘要

A number of confinement studies in space cabin simulators of various types have been conducted at the U. S. Naval Air Materiel Center and the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine and Aerospace Medical Laboratory, as well as various industrial concerns. These projects provided useful background information and test techniques for the present study but, so far as is known, little of the pre¬vious effort has been directed specifically at the problem of minimum size. The pertinence of the available data to the present problem depends on the size and type of work space, the tasks, and the type of subject. A partial bibliography of such studies and other pertinent data are presented at the end of this report.nThe present study considered just the stresses produced by the restricted work space and the 2-man 7-day work schedule. No attempt was made to provide a completely closed ecological system-or to simulate unusual environmental condi¬tions or atmospheres.
