Human factors in instructional augmented reality for intravehicular spaceflight activities and How gravity influences the setup of interfaces operated by direct object selection

In human spaceflight, advanced user interfaces are becoming an interesting mean to facilitate human-machine interaction, enhancing and guaranteeing the sequences of intravehicular space operations. The efforts made to ease such operations have shown strong interests in novel human-computer interaction like Augmented Reality (AR). The work presented in this thesis is directed towards a user-driven design for AR-assisted space operations, iteratively solving issues arisen from the problem space, which also includes the consideration of the effect of altered gravity on handling such interfaces.Auch in der bemannten Raumfahrt steigt das Interesse an neuartigen Benutzerschnittstellen, um nicht nur die Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion effektiver zu gestalten, sondern auch um einen korrekten Arbeitsablauf sicherzustellen. In der Vergangenheit wurden wiederholt Anstrengungen unternommen, Innenbordarbeiten mit Hilfe von Augmented Reality (AR) zu erleichtern. Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf einen nutzerorientierten AR-Ansatz, welcher zum Ziel hat, die Probleme schrittweise in einem iterativen Designprozess zu lösen. Dies erfordert auch die Berücksichtigung veränderter Schwerkraftbedingungen

Lunar bases and space activities of the 21st century

Covers subjects ranging from engineering analyses of space transportation networks and planetary surface outposts to legal, sociological, and public policy discussions related to space program initiatives over the next few decades. Scientists proposed experiments suited for a manned lunar space base; designers suggested architectural concepts and construction techniques for planetary surface habitats; and bioengineers reviewed the essential elements of biologically based, regenerative life support systems.Sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Lunar and Planetary Institute, American Geophysical Union, American Nuclear Society, American Society of Civil Engineers, Space Studies Institute, National Space Society.Prepared by the Publications Office of the Lunar and Planetary InstituteGas Jet Diffusion Flames Under Reduced-G Conditions / M.Y.
