Abstract
Given its objective of being permanent and manned, the United States Space Station should be planned, designed and built to maximize the crew's contribution to space station effectiveness.
This paper presents an overview of some of the activities, both in progress and completed, covering the concerns of crew habitability and crew productivity for the proposed United States Space Station.
Various methods and tasks have been incorporated to increase the data base of man/systems information. This information will enhance habitability and crew performance during our Space Missions.
A synopsis of some of the activities, designed to add data for the enhancement of the man/systems component of the proposed space station, is given.
The Man-Systems Division of NASA, Johnson Space Center, Houston, has been the center-point for all the activities listed.
