Learning Objectives
Use of published evidence for space exploration class missions associated crew health, human factors, and space systems standards/requirements development.
Expectations
To be able to identify the strength of evidence underpinning space policy and requirements for human exploration missions.
Reading/Review:
Lesson 1
Power Point, and

Assignments
In the Week 1 forum, address the importance of establishing the evidence supporting a design for a successful interplanetary mission with humans. Medical policy brings together standards and requirements as an input to space systems design and mission planning. In the forthcoming weeks we will address major elements of the space medicine and human factors contributing to specific space a mission design. This information is germane to the preparation of the semester paper due at the end of Week 8. You are requested to provide in no more than 1,000 words, a succinct discussion of what you did learn from your reading about space medicine/human factors policy formulation and its applicability to future space exploration systems design.
Your narrative should be concise and not exceed 1000 words, and
Respond to comments of at least one of the students in our class.
