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.
Jan Osburg is an aerospace engineer specializing in manned space flight systems and human-system integration. He has a doctoral degree from the University of Stuttgart (Germany) and a Masters degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta (USA). An experienced researcher and lecturer, he has also directed international, interdisciplinary space station design workshops at the University of Stuttgart, the International Space University, and the European Space Agency. As executive officer, chief engineer and medic on board the Mars Desert Research Station, a Mars-analog simulation facility, he has gained extensive first-hand field experience with space flight crew integration issues. Jan Osburg grew up in Germany and now lives in the United States of America.
