Habitability design of European spacecraft Hermes--ergonomic aspects

Acta Astronaut. 1988 Feb;17(2):223-5. doi: 10.1016/0094-5765(88)90028-8.

Abstract

First results of a 3-D human body model conception adapted to C.A.D. studies is presented. This parametric model incorporating specific constraints due to weightlessness is well adapted to bring valuable answers to Human Factors Engineers, designing man-system interfaces of European spacecraft Hermes.
