Imagery saystems for enhanced crewmember habitability, performance and productivity on ISS

In this paper, a description is provided for the process of determining the functional and technical requirements for an Imagery System onboard the International Space Station (ISS). With the advent of the ISS and the experience of Russian, European, and US crewmembers on Mir, the importance of the psychological element in long duration missions is increasingly recognized. An Imagery System could enhance the habitability, performance, and productivity for long term stays in space. Because this is type of system is a new concept for space, functional and technical requirements need to be explored.
