Some of these functions and performance parameters are fixed, being either a discrete function or a parameter that has an ...

Humans are not adapted to space. The natural space environment would kill a human due to the lack of pressure, atmosphere, heat, and the exposure to radiation. Therefore, when traversing from one vehicle or habitat to another, the vehicles or habitats need to be docked together, or the spacefarer needs to be in a spacesuit, since a human in space must have a spacesuit of some kind to supply the ...

The first sub-orbital spaceships will not have much need or room for luggage or supplies as the trips are quite short and return straight back to Earth. Passengers will be able to have cameras and probably a few small mementos that they can say have been to space In the future, orbital spaceships will need to have room for supplies and luggage and this will be a design consideration. ---- ...

Right now an astronaut must be able to understand information which is presented in visual displays. To make space travel safer and less costly, NASA has pioneered automation of many tasks that used to be done by people. As space travel becomes more common and affordable, it will be possible to engineer access technology such as Braille displays and screen readers that will make the tasks ...

Oxygen will have to be brought to space in tanks. The oxygen tanks would be used to inflate the hotel and establish the environment. The oxygen in the hotel would have to be continually filtered and moisture and carbon dioxide (CO2) would have to be scrubbed out of the system. Our space modules are pressurized with an atmosphere similar to that on Earth, made-up of a ratio of oxygen and nitrogen ...

The primary purpose of the ISS is to be a laboratory where humans will live and work in space. The ISS will have multiple laboratories where the astronauts can work in a shirt-sleeve environment. The United States, Europe, Japan, and Russia will all have at least one on-orbit laboratory as part of the ISS. Each laboratory differs in size. The US laboratory (named Destiny), for example, is 28 feet ...
