Human Factors Standards for Space Habitation

Nasa is developing a Man/System Integration Standard. It is to be a single source for human factors engineering standards for the design and development of space habitats. Included in this paper is a discussion of the Anthropometrics, Architecture, Activity Centers, and Health Management sections of the standard. There is a brief description of the general contents of each of these sections and some of the human factors considerations that are unique to the space environment.
