The missions of the early space age--when a relatively few, very highly trained, physically fit male, pilot/astronauts operated for short times--will be supplemented in the future by missions where large numbers of nonpilot/astronaut men and women will work in orbit for long periods of time on research and industry-related tasks. The lengthening and changing complexity of space operations requires that the psychosocial, habitat design, food systems, and economic aspects of humans working in space be reviewed carefully. In this volume, an interdisciplinary group of experts addresses these aspects of space work and delineates avenues for future research.
T. Stephen Cheston, an historian by training, is associate dean of the graduate school at Georgetown University and vice-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Universities Space Research Association. He has been involved in spacerelated activities since 1975, has established a working group to assess the impact of space on society from a social science and humanities perspective, and was founder of the Institute for the Social Science Study of Space (1978). He is co-editor of Space Humanization Series, Vol. I (with D. Webb; Institute for the Social Science Study of Space, 1979) and author of various articles on space social science.
