NASA/SP-2010-3407, NASA SPECIAL PUBLICATION: HUMAN INTEGRATION DESIGN HANDBOOK (HIDH) - BASELINE (27 JAN 2010)., The Human Integration Design Handbook (HIDH), NASA/SP-2010-3407, provides guidance for the crew health, habitability, environment, and human factors design of all NASA human space flight programs and projects. The two primary uses for the handbook are to (i) Help requirement writers prepare contractual program-specific human interface requirements - Users include program managers and system requirement writers; and (ii) Help designers develop designs and operations for human interfaces in spacecraft - Users include human factors practitioners, engineers and designers, crews and mission / flight controllers, and training and operations developers. The handbook is a resource document for NASA Space Flight Human Systems Standard (SFHSS), NASA-STD-3001. The SFHSS is a two-volume set of NASA Agency-level standards, established by the Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer, that defines levels of acceptable risks to crew health and performance that result from space flight. Volume 1 of the SFHSS, Crew Health, sets standards related to crew health. Volume 2, Habitability and Environmental Health, defines the environmental, habitability, and human factors standards that are related to environmental health and human-system interfaces during human space flight. The handbook is a resource for implementing the requirements in the SFHSS, and it provides the data and guidance necessary to derive and implement program-specific requirements that are in compliance with the SFHSS. The scope of the handbook includes all crew operations both inside and outside the spacecraft in space and on lunar and planetary surfaces. It includes (i) Design guidelines for crew interface with workstations, architecture, habitation facilities, and extravehicular activity (EVA) systems; (ii) Information describing crew human capabilities and limitations (both physical and cognitive); and (iii) Environmental support parameters The document uses the term "spacecraft" and "system" to refer to the volume in which humans live and work. The "humans" addressed in this document are the crew of the spacecraft. Spacecraft and system refer to all aspects of the crewmembers' living and working conditions including the hardware, equipment, software, and environment. The term "human space flight program" is used to refer to the infrastructure assigned to design, develop, and deploy the spacecraft system.
