This is one of the first books to treat the behavioral science aspects of living and working in space. Dr Harris examines the twin concepts of space ethos and synergy, underlining their vital importance in any extraterrestrial expansion. He analyzes the broader human dimensions of space exploration and development beyond the scientific and engineering considerations, and examines the emergence of a unique space culture in the orbital environment, taking into consideration the anthropological, sociological, psychological, and living systems aspects. Dr Harris also reviews the impact of organizational culture on space agencies and the aerospace industry, together with the influence of space technology and habitation upon the Earth's culture and peoples. As space-oriented activities increase, so the need for personnel other than scientific and technical staff increases. The book details a strategy for a space personnel deployment system, as well as the challenges of space settlement within an isolated, confined extreme or exotic environment, and reviews current NASA innovations in space management. A complete overview of the challenges created by space industrialization, including commercial, legal and political ramifications is included. Space habitation plans for both NASA and the European Space Agency are reviewed, along with the Space Exploration Initiative and its implications, rounding off this topical and easy-to-read text. Readership: Space engineers, technologists and scientists needing to gain a greater understanding of human factors, life science, space policy and industrialization space management and law, space habitation and settlement. The general reader interested in the human side of living and working in space or in low-gravity environments. Senior level undergraduates in space-related courses (including psychology, sociology and anthropology, and other areas of social and behavioral science).
