Abstract

This paper is an introduction to the following five articles, that have been conceived together as one chapter on habitability consideration for outer space habitations. Those contributions are made from authors in different fields, cultures and countries working with the Extreme-Design.eu research group. Projects, theories and requirements are referred to the context of outer space habitats, where for the love of knowledge, human beings are living under extreme condition. The group purpose is to apply holistic approach (using both scientific and humanity discipines) towards space habitat design to support human cultural experience and improve technical reliability. Space Anthropology, Space Design, Space Art and Space Psychology are the established disciplines here considered to have a bearing on astronaut reliability. With multidisciplinary contributions, natural design philosophy- and human-centred design, these papers aim of collecting a range of solutions and innovative ideas on how to increase habitability in space.
