Abstract

This thesis delves into spaceship design with a focus on the health and well-being of the people inhabiting it. A mission to Mars will take around six months, and if we send people to Jupiter’s moons, that could take several years. Both of these trips would mean a long time spent in a small, microgravity environment with no possibility to leisurely step outside to get some fresh air. It affects the human body as well as the human mind in ways that we don’t yet fully know, but studies made onboard the International Space Station indicates that the consequences can be severe. I have looked into these issues to see what solutions can be offered.
