商品描述
Living and working on the Moon requires knowledge of how to get there and back, survive, perform tasks and create comfortable habitats for lunar living. For centuries, humanity has gazed at the Moon with wonder, but now the dream of living and working on its surface is becoming a reality. This book explores the Moon as the next frontier, offering a comprehensive examination of its environment, the challenges of human habitation and the opportunities it presents. With national and commercial interests investigating lunar exploration, the stakes are high and the potential for achievements and critical missteps is immense.
This title provides the introductory knowledge needed to navigate this exciting yet complex future. This text delivers the knowledge and perspective needed to engage with the challenges and opportunities of humanity's next great adventure. Readers will find a detailed exploration of the Moon's physical characteristics, its history in human exploration, and the engineering marvels that have made space travel possible. The book introduces the principles of human factors and ergonomics, applying them to lunar environments to address the design of spaceships, habitats, vehicles and spacesuits. From the physics of reduced gravity to the intricacies of thermal comfort, it offers practical insights into how humans can adapt to and thrive on the Moon.
The reader will acquire the tools to understand and contribute to the future of lunar habitation. Human Factors and the Moon: Mission Requirements, Engineering Solutions and Lunar Living is essential reading for human factors professionals plus anyone with an interest in space exploration, from students and researchers in human factors and engineering to policymakers and space enthusiasts.
