Space Station Crew Workload: Station Operations and Customer Accommodations

Abstract

The crew of the Space Station will divide their time between caring for the station systems and operating and maintaining payloads. Because of the relatively non-stressful flight regime. the long duration program life, and advances in automation and robotics they can devote more work time to payloads than in previous manned programs. THE GOAL for putting men into space has always been to determine their ability to live there productively and then to do useful work. Past programs, of necessity, have placed great emphasis on etting them there and back again safely wit a corresponding impact on the time or ability to perform payload operations. This paper will present the unique aspects of the Space Station that will allow the crew to spend the majority of their work time on payload operations. It will also give limited detail of typical tasks they will be doing.
