Human Ergonomics Study in Microgravity Environment

Abstract

In recent decades, human exploration of space has gradually deepened, and more and more countries and regions have successfully sent astronauts into space. How to complete the space experiment as efficiently and safely as possible in the shortest time with limited resources has become an important issue in the field of aerospace technology. Taking full account of such matter, we consider that ergonomics in design stage is one of the most effective ways to solve this problem. The microgravity environment is the biggest difference between ground and space. Therefore, the study of ergonomics under the microgravity environment is of great significance. This article deeply analyses and summarizes the physiological differences between human and normal gravity under microgravity environment. From the ergonomics point of view, the requirements for spacecraft design and space mission planning are put forward for the reference of engineers and scholars.
