| | Space Habitat Design Considerations Related to Different Gravity Environment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | Reduced and artificially induced gravity levels relative to the Earth’s have major influences upon human operations, health and safety that must be carefully considered throughout all habitat planning and design processes. |
 | | These considerations include influences upon astronaut/cosmonaut mobility, task performance, bone and muscle deterioration, fluid loss, psychological and spatial adaptation, and in the case of artificially induced gravity, impacts of Coriolis forces and cross-coupled accelerations. |
 | | In designing for different gravity environments, architects must address both physical and psychological adaptation and operational problems for humans who exist beyond their natural environment. |
