session 6

Title: Simulating Space Habitation: Habitats, Design and Simulation Missions
type: oral
Description: This session covers all topics related to preparing for and simulating future extra-terrestrial habitats and its associated facilities. This includes lessons learned as well as experimental and concrete design proposals for future habitats, either orbital or surface structures, from analog programs to XR solutions and other cutting-edge approaches. The session especially welcomes papers with an interdisciplinary wide-range focus relevant for future crewed missions. Themes may span across innovative technologies, architectural, interior and design approaches and elements, human factors, social-cultural dynamics of space missions, the legal and policy aspects of analog or future crewed missions, as well as the economics of such missions.
