145 Conclusions Summarized and derived governing requirements and constraints from DRM Emphasized requirements identification and documentation Established first iteration design that incorporated functional subsystem definition and analysis of integration factors: - i.e. structural layout, mass flows, power distribution, data transmission Emphasis on human factors: - Crew Accommodations and Mission Operations - crew health and well-being

146 Conclusions (continued) Incorporated generic human spacecraft design requirements from Man-Systems Integration Standards (NASA STD-3000 Rev. B, 1995) – as applicable Assessed compatibility of floor plan options proposed in various existing architectural habitat concepts Unique merger of systems engineering, architecture, and human factors

147 Suggestions for Future Work Optimize each subsystem design to reduce mass and power requirements Detailed architectural layout of all subsystem technologies into habitat Further iteration Requirements re-evaluation Derive Level 3 and Level 4 requirements and design solutions More detailed/organized Interface Requirements Documents between subsystems Trade studies for each subsystem design
