"Interplanetary Outpost" follows the mission architecture template of
NASA's plan for Human Outer Planet Exploration (HOPE), which envisions
sending a crew to the moon Callisto to conduct exploration and sample
return activities. To realize such a mission, the spacecraft will be the
most complex interplanetary vehicle ever built, representing the best
technical efforts of several nations. A wealth of new technologies will
need to be developed, including new propulsion systems, hibernation
strategies, and revolutionary radiation shielding materials. Step by
step, the book will describe how the mission architecture will evolve,
how crews will be selected and trained, and what the mission will entail
from launch to landing. However, the focus of "Interplanetary Outpost"
is on the human element. The extended duration, logistical challenges,
radiation concerns, communication lag times, isolation, and deleterious
effects on the human body will conspire to not only significantly impair
human performance but also affect the behavior of crewmembers. This book
addresses each of these issues in detail while still providing the
reader with a background to the necessary elements comprising such a
mission.
