Impacts of system decisions at the life support, EVA, and habitability interfaces

摘要: Technology developers understand the need to optimize technologies for human missions beyond Earth. Greater benefits are achievable when systems that share common interfaces optimized as an integrated unit, including taking advantage of possible synergies or removing counterproductive efforts at mission level. Life support, extravehicular activity (EVA), and habitability three have significant with crew, thus many each other. Technologies architectures developed these account effect design decisions will on other systems. Many impacts stem from use water by crew way life support system provides processes water. Other resources, especially air-related, can well. Mission designers should be aware effects requirements subsystem all levels total mission.
