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 ...
