Figure 3-19: Levels<br />

Figure 3-19 shows habitat layout with different levels (dark lines) as from NASA’s Skylab and<br />

the new Transhab. The second part shows an inner cylindrical core with a habitable surface of<br />

the outer surface of the inner cylindrical core. The third also consists of an inner core for all<br />

technical infrastructure but orientates the habitable space along the axis of the hatches and<br />

connectors towards the other modules.<br />

Figure summarizes the possibilities for orientation. Long missions require more complex spaces<br />

are required to keep the crew healthy and productive, so the best option seems to be the mixed<br />

one (right diagram) because it implies a great variety in the space perception. This option also<br />

requires a distinct orientation so that orientation is easy and not confusing when floating through<br />

the modules.<br />
