U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 52 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Jump Height and Floor-Ceiling Distance • Ceiling heights are generally set to ensure that no inadvertent contact arises from any locomotion • Simple analysis: assume constant jump energy g Ej = mgh = mg0h0 = h0 = h ) g0
• Assuming a 0.5 m jump on Earth, this analysis predicts – Jump height on Mars = 1.4 m (3.4 m ceiling height) – Jump height on Moon = 3.1 m (5.1 m ceiling height)
U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 53 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Advanced Jump Height Analysis • In jumping, leg strength is used for both supporting the body’s weight and accelerating it upwards • Assume that the total leg extension force Fj is constant (assumes no degradation of strength from space flight) • In a lower gravity, more net force should be available for upwards acceleration

U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 55 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Conclusion on Ceiling Height • The actual calculation of jump height will be more complicated than either of the techniques presented • In any event, it will be impractical to build partial gravity habitats with ceiling heights to preclude inadvertent contact • Microgravity habitats benefit from lower ceiling heights to provide additional translation grasp points • Both partial gravity and microgravity habitats will probably adopt ~2.5 meter ceiling heights U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 56 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Multilevel Interior Access • Jumping analysis pertains here as well • Ascending a stairway on Earth – Step height 0.18 m – Vertical velocity 0.36 m/sec – Requires 280W for 80 kg human • At constant power, – Mars vertical velocity 1 m/sec; loft of 0.13 m – Lunar vertical velocity 2.2 m/sec; loft of 1.6 m • To what extent do we have to design to accommodate continued deconditioning? U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 57 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Stairways vs. Ladders • Stairways require dedicated deck space for horizontal length of run on both decks • At 40° rise angle, “standard” stairway will require footprint of 2.9 m x 0.75 m • For two deck, vertically oriented cylinder with 5 m diameter, this represents an 11% loss of both floor area and interior volume • Ladders present problem with translation between levels while carrying items, but take up less space

U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 61 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Impact of Jumping and Climbing • Ceiling surfaces will be well within reach of even a moderate “bounce” • Mobility modifications will be motivated by repeated head impacts • Multilevel access will be a unique solution for each gravitational environment – Lunar system may be just a single intermediate platform – Mars system may look like stairway with 0.5-0.7 meter riser heights • Need further research to better understand optimum stairway angles, riser heights, etc.
U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 62 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Interior Accommodations • Partial gravity habitats use conventional interior spaces – Tasks divided between “standing”, “seated”, “reclining” – Orientation is fixed by gravity vector • Microgravity workstations organized around neutral body posture – Pose assumed by body in microgravity when postural muscles are relaxed – Relative orientation fixed mostly by convention and need

U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 65 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Conclusion on Interior Accommodations
• Gravitational architecture only utilizes vertical surfaces – Floor and ceiling are used for support, transit, and secondary systems (e.g., lighting) – Strong desire in space architecture to take advantage of interstitial volumes created by fitting rectangular living volumes into cylindrical/ellipsoidal pressure vessels • ISS experience indicates that crew readily performs in situ servicing rather than requiring fixed workstations with nominal neutral body posture
U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 66 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Overall Habitat Design Conclusions • If habitable volume is the metric of interest, vertical orientations are optimal unless full hemispherical end caps are chosen • Constant interior orientation is required in partial gravity and desirable for microgravity, but extended occupancy will mitigate demand for constant reference orientation • Unless extensive deconditioning occurs, human leg strength will create interesting design challenges for habitat interiors
U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 67 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support Overall Habitat Design Conclusions • Partial gravity and microgravity habitat interiors will tend to look alike – Common ceiling heights – General adoption of single reference orientation • They will not, however, function alike – nor will they function like Earth habitats – Differences in interior translation, interdeck access, work station design, etc. • The best way to understand habitat design experimentally is to provide equivalent gravitational environments (e.g., ballasted underwater testing) U N I V E R S I T Y O F Spacecraft Habitability MARYLAND 68 ENAE 697 - Space Human Factors and Life Support 0G Workstation Layout
