Kurzbeschreibung
The success of manned space exploration missions depends on the sustained performance of human crews under conditions of long-term isolation, confinement and risk. Designing systems for such missions therefore poses a considerable challenge to the traditional, engineering-oriented design approach. This book describes a new, interdisciplinary approach that was developed to improve the integration of crews into inhabited space systems. The approach is based on aerospace systems engineering methodology with key elements from terrestrial architectural practice added. Several examples are given to demonstrate the validity of this truly interdisciplinary approach.
Der Autor über sein Buch
This book describes a ground-breaking interdisciplinary approach to the conceptual design of inhabited systems. It is a must-read for anyone seriously interested in integrating humans and technology in environments characterized by confinement, isolation and a high degree of risk. By incorporating time-tested elements of architectural practice into the systems engineering process, the new approach provides a creative solution to one of the most difficult challenges of modern engineering.
