Abstract:
Habitability and human factors are important determinants for the design of any inhabited structure or human used object, especially in a confined and isolated environment. Beyond the human cannot survive without a protecting habitat. It secures the basic requirements of humans´ existence. Therefore this kind of habitat is especially subject to careful planning, designing and building.

Habitability and human factors are important determinants for the design of any inhabited structure or human used object, especially in a confined and isolated environment. Beyond the human cannot survive without a protecting habitat. It secures the basic requirements of humans´ existence. Therefore this kind of habitat is especially subject to careful planning, designing and building.
Today we have the great opportunity to learn from a series of realized space habitats - as well as the presently orbiting International Space Station. These highly technological habitats have been providing living & working space in a hostile and socially isolated environment for varied users over long periods of time. This paper presents results of a recently completed study about the interface between people, space and objects in an unearthly surrounding.
American and Russian space habitats, that hosted a minimum crew of two, with mission lengths exceeding 30 days, were selected as case studies (Apollo, Salyut, Skylab, Shuttle, Mir, and ISS).
The purpose of such habitats has been to establish living & working space for humans. Therefore a comparative analysis focusing on human activities (SLEEP, HYGIENE, FOOD and WORK) within a built environment was chosen as a new method for this work. In addition to the available data from technical reports, published books, reviews and lessons learned, structured interviews with Astronauts were conducted with a special focus on human activity and have been integrated in the evaluation.
The paper will introduce the selection criteria and methodology of the conducted design-in-use-study. Relevant issues that have been found to be of significant influence on the habitability system will be highlighted. The study results were further formulated as design directions for each human activity category.
