Abstract
- Usability is an important concept to consider when designing space habitats/vehicles. In addition to objective outcomes (success rate, net habitable volume etc.), collecting users’ subjective judgments via comments and questionnaires can provide valuable data for evaluating conceptual designs, identifying potential layout issues, improving concept of operations, substantiating design changes, or selecting between competing mockups. Historically at NASA, there has been no “gold standard” questionnaire for capturing users’ subjective viewpoint regarding habitat design. To address this gap a Human Research Program (HRP) study was conducted to create a new measurement tool: the Scale for Habitat Usability (SHU).
