NASA-STD-3001 standard is defined by NASA to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of astronauts during space missions. Its also called "Space Flight Human-System Standard". This standard's primary goal is to provide a uniform set of technical requirements that govern the design, selection, and application of hardware, software, processes, procedures, practices, and methods for systems meant for human use in space.
Volume 1: Crew Health
NASA-STD-3001 Volume 1 focuses on crew health aspects and covers a wide range of topics related to human factors, medical considerations, and psychological well-being during space missions. The first volume of NASA-STD-3001, known as Crew Health, concentrates on establishing standards for ensuring the fitness for duty, health, and well-being of astronauts. It addresses a wide array of factors, including permissible exposure limits, medical care, diagnosis, intervention, treatment, and countermeasures. The first volume recognizes the significance of medical considerations, psychological support, and overall physical health in enabling astronauts to perform optimally during space missions.
Volume 2: Human Factors, Habitability, and Environmental Health
NASA-STD-3001 Volume 2 extends the focus to the spacecraft's design, habitability, and environmental factors that influence crew health and performance. Volume 2 of NASA-STD-3001 emphasizes human factors, habitability, and environmental health. It delineates standards for spacecraft design, internal environments, ground processing, facilities, payloads, and associated hardware and software systems that astronauts interact with during space operations. This volume underscores the importance of creating ergonomic and comfortable environments that cater to the physiological and cognitive capabilities and limitations of crew members.
