‘The six GIAG Experts were as follows:
Julien M Christensen (PhD) - Chief Scientist, Human Factors, Universal Energy Systems, Inc.,
Dayton, Ohio.
James W. McBarron - Chief, Shuttle Support Branch, Crew Systems Di
Space Center, Houston, Texas.
John T. McConville (PAD) - President, Anthropology Research Project, Inc, Yellow Springs,
io.
William R. Pogue - Ex-Skylab astronaut, CAMUS, Inc, Springdale, Arkansas.
Robert C, Williges (PhD) - Prof. of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research/Prof. of
Pojchology, Viginge Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia."
‘Wesley E. Woodson - President and Research Director, Man-Factors, Inc., El Cajon, California.
‘The GIAG User group was composed of invited representatives form all of the prime aerospace
contractors, support contractors, NASA centers and Headquarters, other Government agencies,
and some non-aerospace contractors. The GIAG Users who participated in at least one of the
GIAG meetings are listed in Figure F-2.

‘The technical content of these documents has been thoroughly reviewed by the GIAG par-
ticipants. The data can be used with confidence that all known relevant human engineering re-
quirements applicable to the space environment have been documented and are as technically
valid as itis possible to determine. Iterations to the MSIS will be developed as physiological and
technical knowledge and requirements dictate.
Comments from any user are welcome and will be considered for updating the database and the
documentation. A Recommendations and Comments form appears at the end of this volume to
facilitate user inputs.

FOREWORD
‘This is Volume I of the Man-Systems Integration Standards (MSIS) prepared for the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) The MSIS consists of a family of documents with
avideo tape as an adjunct . Each document volume has a specific purpose, as stated below, and
each has been assembled from the data contained in Volume I,
‘The title and scope of each current volume are given below:
Volume I - Man Systems Integration Standards
‘This document contains man-systems integration design considerations, design requirements,
and example design solutions for development of manned space systems. This is a NASA-level
standards document applicable to all manned space programs including NASA, military, and com-
mercial programs.
Volume II - Man-Systems Integration Standards - Appendices
‘This volume contains the appendices which pertain to the MSIS, and is organized as follows:
Appendix A Bibliography
Appendix B Paragraph References
Appendix C Glossary
Appendix D Abbreviations and Acronyms
Appendix E Units of Measure and Conversion Factors
Appendix F Not Applicable
Appendix G Acceleration Regime Applicability
Appendix H Video Tape User's Guide
Appendix Not Applicable
Appendix J Keywords
Appendix K MSIS Recipients Listing
Volume III - Man-Systems Integration Standards - Design Handbook
This volume is a condensed field guide of pertinent quantitative data extracted from Volume I.
Chapters of the MSIS family of documents are as follows:
1, Introduction
2. General Requirements
3, Anthropometry and Biomechanics
4. Human Performance Capabilities
5. Natural and Induced EnvironmentsNASA-STD-S000/VOLUREV.B
6, Crew Safety
7. Health Management
8. Architecture
9. Work stations
10. Activity Centers
11. Hardware and Equipment
12. Maintainability
13. Facility Management
14, Extravehicular Activity
Volume IV - Space Station Man-Systems Integration Standards
‘This volume underwent many changes as we phased into the Intemational Space Station Alpha
(ISSA) program. A smaller volume was developed from Volume IV and published as an ISSA
document entitled International Space Station Flight Crew Integration Standard
(NASA-STD-3000/T) with ISSA document number SSP-50005. This document will be main-
tained by the ISSA publishing operations in Interleaf format. The contents of the SSP-50005
document will be monitored and controlled by the ISSA Flight Crew Support and Integration
Team.
Volume V - STS Man-Tended Payload Man-Systems Integration Standards
Deleted.
Volume VI - Assured Crew Return Vehicle Man-Systems Integration Stand-
ards
This document served as the Assured Crew Return Vehicle (ACRV) project man-systems integra-
tion design requirements. The data in this document is a subset of the data found in Volume I
and defines the requirements which were pertinent to the ACRV as defined in the ACRV
documentation. Additional data and guidelines were provided to assist in the design. The data
contained in this volume which is pertinent to the International Space Station Alpha (ISSA) has
been incorporated into ISSA document SSP-50005.
‘The original MSIS document was assembled for NASA by the Boeing Aerospace Company (BAC),
Kent, Washington, in conjunction with subcontractors Lockheed Missiles and Space Company
(LMSC), Sunnyvale, California; Essex Corporation, Huntsville, Alabama; and CAMUS, Inc.,
Springdale, Arkansas, The contractor team leaders and section authors for this effort are listed in
Figure F-1. Subsequent iterations to the MSIS will be developed for NASA by the custodial or-
ganization at JSC.
AGovernment\Industry Advisory Group (GIAG), composed of a panel of "Experts" and "Users’,
met four times to review the technical content as it was being developed.NASA-STD-S000/VOL.VREV.B
